About us
We love to discover the beautiful nature around Berlin, the good (or not so good) restaurants and the even more beautiful lakes! Mostly by bike at a relaxed pace.
We want to have a completely stress-free, good time in good company.
So, let's enjoy summer and come on a ride with us!
You are welcome to suggest & organise your own meetup!
Just get in touch and we'll gladly help.

========== FACTS =================== DETAILS =========
ROUTE:
You can't say you have lived your life to the fullest when you haven't been at Holly's Galeriecafé. Her story of being nearly blind but baking and serving delicious cakes for a very fair price is widely known and she's the stop for many, not only cyclists.
What is known only to those who have been there is the atmosphere, and the taste, of course! A very simple life and setup shows that there IS something more than the daily trouble a city slicker may encounter.
Do you want to experience that? Then enjoy life and come on a ride with us!We start in Erkner, right outside the train station and follow solid only paths for about 14 km until we reach the Cafe.
Unfortunately the Deutsche Bahn is sticking with its tradition to mess up my rides by interrupting trains. So we just head back from Hartmannsdorf to Berlin via Müggelsee and (I) end up in Friedrichshagen.
Anyone who hasn't burned enough calories can continue further to (their) home.SPEED:
Leisurely around 14 km/h.
This is like "Being able to see the details on the side of the road and enjoying the view in general."DISTANCE AND TERRAIN:
This is an about 40ish km ride, with mostly solid paths in the beginning but also some soft/forrest ground after the break.
Bikes with thin tyres (Race bikes, Fixies), rented bikes (Uber, Swapfiets) or any special bikes (Folding bikes, BMX etc.) are not suitable! You won't have fun, trust me!
