Wow, last sunday was a blast!

Our orange shirt wearing, balloon-covered, group set out to meet 250 000 other cyclists forming a gigantic traffic-stopping snake crawling through berling's streets and highways.

We handed out balloons to happy people all around and waved at angry car drivers waiting and waiting and waiting a bit more till finally ther last happy cyclist had passed and they could grumpily carry on in their stinky cars.

We whobbled over the Berlin cobblestones, whoosed into a highway tunnel and did a few victory laps around elsie on her Siegezeule. We stashed our bikes in the tiergarten and joined the celebrations at the umweltsfestival in the shadow of the brandenburger tor.

After some bio-bratwurst we started the game we made to draw attention to the MDG's. Allready in the first game one german and two american tourists joined. In the end Germany was the winner by completing 4 MDG's, we packed our bags and went home as satisfied cyclists.
