laserfisch podcast episode #07 from laserfisch on Vimeo.
Found a couple of cool, little videos at Vimeo. This one, above, is from Hamburg. Time lapse with artistic pauses. It's worth mentioning that in many European cities there is a rather relaxed attitude to riding on the pavement [sidewalk].
Bicycle ride to the bakery from Janka Literski on Vimeo.
And here's a lovely little video from a girl in Berlin, riding to the best bakery in the city.

Great videos. Thanks for putting them up there. We're just starting out in cycling here in New Zealand, and it's summer, so we are getting some good rides in too. I love the bakery ride - it's great to actually feel what a bike ride to the local bakery is like in Germany! Our blogsite: http://handlebraeasyriderclub.blogspot.com/
The pavement thing is quite amusing for me. In the UK, it's an issue which causes much contention and writing of general purpose anti-cycling letters to papers.
Pedestrians seem convinced that certain death will result from cyclists on the pavement, and responsible cyclists always try to make sure that they don't use the pavement in order that they won't be seen to be outlaws and "setting a bad example" so that they won't be respected.
I think the strong feelings come down to a lack of familiarity with bikes. Here in NL it seems no-one is really all that fussed. However, there's generally no reason to want to do it anyway as the bike path will get you wherever you are going.
Great videos. I like the 'scratchy picture' on the first one.
How do you keep a camera from shaking like mad when it's on the bike?
i just hold my camera nice and still... :-)
Really enjoyed the second video.
Tremendously interesting urban plan, architecture, space. Absolutely beutiful. I didn't know berlin was so beautiful.
berlin is fantastic. it's a european city, more than a german, like paris is european more than french.
