13-08-30 Berlin - Have bike will travel!

Got a gift bike in a reasonable riding condition. Berlin is totally flat, and there are bike lanes everywhere, even bike traffic lights in some intersections. Car traffic is not heavy for a major city, since the S and U Bahn system is incredible.
The S/U Bahns are reasonably cheap (E 1.50 for a short ride, E 2.60 for a longer one, either is good for 2 hours with transfers). But I am tired of seeing the same ugly subway tunnel walls all the way. Going by bike let's you see the above ground world, and it is a good exercise as well. The weather is perfect - cool and dry. No rain since I got here last week.
Got the bike, my laptop, the large keyboard - ready for action!

 
Berlin Pirates is NOT a baseball team!
