Bikes in Neustadt, Edited Version, Dresden, Germany, 2011

Outside Dresden Neustadt is this bike parking area, which appears well used. As I've said elsewhere, I've noticed that German bike riders often have no problem with placing their bike in a convenient location for commuting and such, even if it's remote from their house, and bikes generally are very popular for transport as much as fun. This is quite a contrast even to the Czech Republic, or much of Eastern Europe, which seems less advanced in terms of environmental protection and city planning (although it should be noted that Communism can't be an excuse, as Dresden is in the former Communist East as well).
