Bike lovers, rejoice! Berlin is pedaling towards a greener future, with pop-up bike lanes becoming a permanent part of city life. The vibrant life of Kottbusser Damm street in Berlin has transformed with a striking increase in bicycle traffic, thanks to the introduction of designated bike lanes. This shift has resulted in an impressive decrease in automobile traffic, creating a more peaceful, cleaner environment. But the journey doesn't stop there. Dirk von Schneidemesser, a local biking enthusiast, views these developments as stepping stones towards much larger goals. Speaking about the future of the city, he said, "We want to reduce car traffic. We want to reduce traffic violence. We want to reduce emissions. We want to reduce the sicknesses that come along with breathing those emissions." Is Berlin on track to become the next Amsterdam? It looks like the city just might be gearing up for that ride!
