Rules for riding on the road in Germany

8

It should be added that the obligation to use cycle paths is not enforced in any way and most motorists do accept you on the road as a racey looking road cyclist. I do stick to cycle paths as long as it is save to do so. If the cycle path requires me to change lanes or cross the road or is packed with recreational cyclists I might stay on the road though. There will always be clowns yelling at you for riding on „their“ road, but they’re a tiny minority.
