Berlin nurtures a true bike culture.

Bikes weave around cars, whirl down sidewalks, and lean against every building. Clusters of bikes are chained to every available post, sign, and handrail.

These humble vehicles are a quintessential part of life in Berlin. Because they’re so embedded in the lifestyle, they reflect a lot about the city and its citizens. Chipped paint, baskets, and even the chains used to secure the bikes speak of the people and the place.

In addition to a vibrant bike culture, Berlin and northeast Germany are striking places for tourism. On offer are a unique blend of architectural styles, a temperate seasonal climate, and a global city for culture, politics, media and science. Now visitors can expand their knowledge base with an artist’s view of Berlin’s neighborhoods, like Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg and more.

The color photos in this book are paired with evocative titles that bring you the artistic essence of the Bikes of Berlin (a Travel Photo Art Book).
