Turnaround with two wheels

Turnaround with two wheels 2560 1703 Südliches Überseequartier
It’s healthy, gets us ahead, protects the climate, takes up very little space and is currently very popular: the bicycle. According to Deutscher Fahrrad-Club (adfc, German Bicycle Club), there are 81 million bicycles in Germany, while Kraftfahrtbundesamt (Federal Motor Transport Authority) reports 59 million cars. It is the goal of Hamburg’s politicians to increase the share of environmental transport (buses, trains, cycling and walking) to 80 percent by 2030, up from 64 percent in 2017. The proportion of cycling alone is to increase from 15 per cent to 25 to 30 per cent. Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier would also like to see lively bicycle traffic. read more
