Meet the Germans: Germany's love for cycling!

Is Germany only the land of cars? Shabnam says yes — and no. Even though
Germans make and drive a lot of cars, they have a deep relationship with bicycles that goes back a couple hundred years. And when it comes to bike-friendliness, Germany ranks quite high among other countries of the world.
Shabnam didn't know how to ride a bike when she moved to Germany from India in 2017. In this episode of Meet the Germans, Shabnam faces her fears and takes a ride down Germany's bike lanes.

What is it really like to bike in your country? Let us know in the comments!
