Relaxing dock on the canal, a caf\u00e9 in Gleisdreieck park or even a beer garden. There should be also some service workshops along the way where cyclists could do some quick repairs. So far, the project looks very promising.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/01\/01_Radbahn_Sketch-Overlay_Below.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-132815 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/01\/01_Radbahn_Sketch-Overlay_Below-780x585.jpg\" alt=\"Radbahn\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;We are amazed by\u00a0the support Radbahn has received. The Senate of Berlin has also agreed to conduct a feasibility study for the Radbahn. Now is the time to develop CO2-friendly means of transportation and infrastructure that provides safe and healthy commuting. We want to make Berlin the number one cycling city in Europe,&#8221; told us Martti Mela, one of the Radbahn Team members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The great thing about this plan is that 80% of the planned route is already prepared for use. All it takes to complete this project is overcoming a few obstacles by building a couple of suspension bridges and altering the traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/01\/01_Radbahn_Rendering-Oberbaum-Reindeer-Rendering.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-132814 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2016\/01\/01_Radbahn_Rendering-Oberbaum-Reindeer-Rendering-780x450.png\" alt=\"Radbahn\" width=\"780\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Come on, Berlin.
