There are many benefits to biking. First, as mentioned, it's affordable. Bikes cost less than cars, they're easier to maintain, and they are more convenient to store at your home. Second, it brings people together through clubs and free associations. Across the city you see posters and signs for people who bike together for fun, as schoolmates or as work associates. This is to say nothing about the physical fitness of people in Konstanz. If you bike regularly, you will be lean and trim. Third, biking reduces pollution tremendously. Germans take the environment and climate change very seriously. Biking is just one way that the citizens of Konstanz have, in recent years, taken up the mission to creating a better future for generations to come.
