Review of the bike Tour
The author of this review: Iris from Austria - now retired
I tried to avoid to fall into an early Winter sleep...
Tried to keep my tired bones fit. As I have been in an refreshment email contact with a biker couple, living nearby Hamburg, we have quickly made a plan to meet and cycle around.
I have been knowing Hamburg from the past, but Hamburg today, is even more bigger, more modern (more expensive...).
What impressed my most, beside the friendly attitude of Hamburgers citizens, was the wide variety of music shops.
We had the chance to participate a 'concert' in one of Hamburgs music pubs, the 'Knust', whereas we have seen on stage Ryan Bingham and Valerie in the pre-program... Just wonderful!
Voices! Music!
Hamburg is a gifted city! Worth to go.
Good bike ways, friendly people, good infrastructure.
Enjoy the following pictures.
