How Germany became Europe's cargo bike hub

I have a custom electric-assist bakfiets and it's got a lock on the back wheel, and a very heavy-duty steel ring for an equally heavy-duty chain. The battery and display are removable. You're subject to vandalism of course, but this is Germany. Vandalism happens, but rarely.

Happily I have a little garden with street access, but I have parked all over Frankfurt and surrounds with no issues. I do a minimum of 32km a day on the school run (8km from home, there and back for delivery and collection), come rain, snow or shine.

Never thought I'd see the day that the BMW gathers dust.

Same here, my car has hardly moved in the last two years. I keep it serviced and of course there is the APK (TUV in Germany). But this is the first time that I'm worried about stabilizing my fuel.
