Biking in and around Koln

Post New Topic

We are planning our move to Koln in about a year. We love to bike and wonder if we should bring ours or plan to buy there. Are there similar restrictions and licensing requirements as for cars? Will we encounter problems with repairs since our bikes have 27 inch tires? What about security? Is it reasonable to expect most apartments to have an indoor place to store the bikes? Thanks!

Germany is a biking paradise you will have no trouble at all. In the area of Cologne there are hundreds of bike stores including some who manufacture them.

Also, the city is set up for biking and wonderful tours can be found along the Rhein, in the Bergishes Land, Siebengebirge and the Eifel, and yes most apparments have a so called Fahrrad-Keller.
