Stating the activity of cycling.
Contexto cultural
In many German cities, cyclists have their own traffic lights and lanes. It is considered very rude (and sometimes illegal) for pedestrians to walk in the red-paved bike lanes. Known as the 'Fahrradstadt' (Bicycle City), Münster has more bicycles than residents. The 'Promenade' is a car-free ring road around the city center dedicated to cyclists. On Sundays, when shops are closed, 'Fahrradtouren' (bike tours) are a very popular family activity, often ending at a 'Biergarten'.
