Tips

Bicycle infrastructure failure using the example:

In the eastern part of Birkendamm
- mangy paving stones,
- much too narrow for cyclists of different speeds, as well as oncoming cyclists and pedestrians who often walk here with dogs and in groups,
- bumps caused by roots of the birch trees growing directly along the route,

in the western part
- not a continuous cycle route, but piecemeal,
- no priority of the “Veloroute” over cross traffic (as in the eastern part),
- A mish-mash of different floor coverings and roadway widths
- in some cases there isn't even a designated cycle path, just shared use of the sidewalkless street.

The former tram route required less side space than a bi-directional pedestrian/cycle path does now.
And actually this should be part of a bike route - what's with pedestrians?

So: You should have driven the Birkendamm for historical reasons. But something else is great.
