Post: I enjoy the convenience of European cities

I'm a simple emigrant and I enjoy the convenience of European cities

It's no secret that European cities are much more conducive to people wanting to walk or ride bicycles. Germany, of course, is no exception: according to the Federal Tourism Association, the length of bike lanes here is 75,000 km, and there are about 72 million bicycles!!! By the way, the country's population is about 81.5 million. That means almost one for every person. Not often, but a couple of times I have seen in the city such beautiful bikes, completely painted white and neatly bolted to the curb. I thought that this was all in the spirit of encouraging people to switch from cars to bicycles, although for locals, it seems motivation is no longer necessary. Anyway, I walked around, admiring them, until I learned that this is how they mark accident sites where a cyclist died. What a sad discovery. Therefore, even if you're a master cyclist, can ride without hands, and can pedal with a single toe, please be careful on the roads. #frankfurt
