| That's the before mentioned university bicycle parking garage. I don't know how many bikes it hoses but there always were free parking spots. Now, that's planning ahead. Another thumbs up, Germans! |
leipzig: fahrrad garage
leipzig: uni
 |
| That is one of the main Leipzig University buildings: Mensa am Park. It houses a large cafeteria, lecture halls, a library and, for the most part, a huge underground bicycle parking garage. Brilliant: you roll down to the garage and simply walk up the stairs inside the building. The skyscraper in the background is the MDR tower, providing a nice 360-degree view of downtown Leipzig. |
leipzig: cospudener see
 |
| Cospudener See is an artificial lake in southern Leipzig. Accesible by public transit (bus, tram and S-Bahn), car or bike. From where I used to live it was a 5 - minute drive or a 10 - minute bike ride through the forest. Quite an incredible sight, that forest route, since apparently in the summer the vast majority of the people commute there by bicycles. Wide paths in the woods then make bicycle highways with an incredible amount of cyclists. |
