A COLOURFUL cycling culture exists in Europe and the Germans are among those who love to ride more than anyone. Today’s photo blog is a tribute to Bremen bikes.

Hey, Mister Postman. Even the posties like to zip around town delivering mail on these rad rides.

Basket case. You don’t have to be crazy to realise the goods you can carry in this biking beauty.

Pretty in pink. If you’re going to cycle, I say do it in style.

It’s a dog’s life. I stumbled across this doggy in the window waiting patiently for his owner.

Don’t be blue. It’s pretty hard to feel low when you’re whizzing around on this blue beauty.

You can ring my bell. Is it a giant ladybug or a bike bell? You be the judge.

Lean on me. Cycles and street art. These are a few of my favourite things.
