Germany gets its first bicycle highway

Cyclists enjoy the first five-kilometre (three-mile) stretch of a bicycle highway that is set to span over 100 km, on December 24, 2015 in Mulheim an der Ruhr, western Germany

 

Germany is opening the first 5 km of their bicycle highway

It will connect 10 western cities including Duisburg, Bochum and Hamm and four universities, running largely along disused railroad tracks in the crumbling Ruhr industrial region.
Almost two million people live within two kilometres of the route and will be able to use sections for their daily commutes

 

The 100 km highway will eventually connect 10 western cities
