Our language school moved over the Christmas break, so now it's about a 15 minute bike ride one-way. Here are some pictures to help you visualize it a little better!
Our apartment building has a bike closet on the ground floor where tennants can keep their bikes. This makes it much easier than having to get the bike upstairs to our apartment!
We rented this bike from the "Velostation" in town. All the bike rentals are this color of blue, so you know when you're with other students, as they tend to have these bikes too. Though probably not fashionable, they're very functional!
The bike has a U-lock that mounts to the front wheel fork when you're not using it. Very convenient.
The rear wheel has a lock, and the lock must be engaged to get the key out. When you ride around with the lock unlocked, the key stays in the lock. Makes losing the key difficult.
This is a bike lane on one of the streets we ride on. Many streets have these dedicated bike lanes, and there are also numerous bike trails around too. But drivers here are used to bikes riding with traffic too.
Here is a little bike signal at a stop light.
This is a dedicated bike trail we ride on. Our bike has a little bell that we ring if people are walking and we need to pass them.
We cross this street, then the bridge and we're out our school.
It's a very modern looking building, very much different from the Chateau where the school used to be.
Another view of the bike!
