Definition:

Bicycles are means of transport designed to transport people and goods for professional and private purposes. They are used for leisure activities such as travelling or for physical exercise. Depending on the specific purpose and rider, bicycles come in different shapes and features.

They are powered by mere human strength or additionally with an assisting electrical engine. Unlike electrically powered scooters and mopeds, electrical bicycles always have pedals allowing them to be ridden with human power.

The bicycle market in Germany has been enjoying dynamic development for a very long time. Bicycles are a popular way to get around in both urban and rural areas, with young children learning to ride firmly entrenched in the national culture. Germany has a variety of scenic bike routes, but looking out for bike lanes in a city is a daily part of life both for cyclists and pedestrians. Many cyclists value the multiple advantages cycling brings – physical activity, saving money by foregoing commuting with public transport or driving, and the eco-friendly aspect. A German city, Munster, even made it on the list of the eight most bike-friendly cities in the world in 2022.
