I just bought a bike, which is easily the finest way to see Berlin in the summer. Not only is the city flat and crisscrossed by bike paths, but the countryside around Berlin has paved roads through the fields and trees that aren't even wide enough for a car. I have yet to visit the countryside; but here's a photo essay of some local urban landmarks.

Here's a hotel where my mom happens to be staying:
And here's an especially beautiful and well-preserved old Hohenzollern remnant on Torstrasse:
As soon as I get to those countryside bike paths I'll post more photos.
