Bike riders also need to wait for the traffic sign–both as pedestrians and as other vehicles.

It is interesting to see the bike riders in the stream of cars. They move swiftly, dodging the heavy vehicles that are sharing the road with them.

This bicycle race is actually a city marathon and it is said that this race attracts more than 13,000 participants and 250,000 spectators every year. Whenever the cyclists passed by, we would stop, spectate and clap. So did the other passers-by we encountered. This race has indeed become a festival for Berliners.
