That's simply not true.

Well, then, you better let bicyclegermany.com know they got it wrong. What basis will you use, I wonder, to persuade them?
If there is a cycle path, you must use it and not ride on the street or road with traffic.

Wow. Notice that you stopped quoting at “There may be....”

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are too busy to actually read the sources that you cite.

And it’s not the paths, it’s the signs. And it’s with exceptions.

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it has been a long time since you rode in Germany.

Anyhow, I can count the number of people who complain of cycling in Germany on one hand, with fingers left over.

Questions, terminology

What is "vehicular cycling?"

I have not read up on it much, but I believe it's acting like you're a car when you're on a bike. As well as arguing endlessly about exactly was VC really is. You don't want to go there, trust me.

Sounds like good advice. Had no idea there were landmines on the biking trails !

Talking

Whatever you do don't ask about living car free. It could scar you for life. Or something.

This thread basically died six months ago when ninety5rpm *the OP got banned anyway.

Well if nothing else I leaned what VC was. And if the thread is dead then it should be closed. Besides, you don't really need an OP on most threads, especially outside of PR
