How it all started

Some friends from New Zealand came to visit us. Of course we made sure we got them bikes so we could show them Berlin. We took them on a different route every day and showed them the things about Berlin we love and find interesting. They were rapt. After their stay we realised that our friends had seen the city in a way most visitors to the city would never get to experience. The idea for Berlin on Bike was born.

Over the course of the past year, visitors to Berlin responded so enthusiastically to our bike tours that 29 German newspapers decided to see what all the fuss was about. Without exception, their journalists were impressed.

Baldur

The historian

Baldur is actually a History graduate from the renowned Humbolt University. He reckons “History is often indiscernible from satire.” With the hard facts and a good shot of humour he presents a capital city that is always somehow trying to surpass itself.
