Anna rents a cargo bike for free

Anna from Cologne, Germany, is happy about the local bicycle association's cargo bike rental service.

The "General German Bicycle Association", ADFC in Cologne rents cargo bikes for free.

Anna's transportation problem this weekend was too much for a folding bike.  She had to go on a one hour bicycle trip to reach her farming plot outside Cologne for the potatoe harvest and for the potatoes' transport back home.

The ADFC cargo bike did a great job.  And the best about it:  It's free.

Here is some technical information just in  case you are located in Cologne and interested in renting.
Length: 2,43 m, width: max. 59 cm, cargo box: appr.  65 cm long, 47 cm wider appr. 51 cm high, made of aluminium, cover with lock, waterproof.

They "did" Cologne, Germany, in 15 minutes. 

 Believe it or not, the other day some friends of mine  from 
abroad were on a tourist trip in Europe. Coming from Frankfurt, where they had arrived by plane, they were on a bus trip to Luxemburg for the night.  In Cologne they stoppend in front of the Cathedral.  

The tour  guide allowed them a stay of exactly 15 minutes - time enough for taking a souvenir picture. If they had brought   folding 
bikes along, they could have seen the historic City Hall as well.
