I stayed in Berlin for two nights at this hostel near Rosa Luxemburg Plaza. This is on a random side street – a SIDE STREET – on a Monday morning, and you can see the cyclists pouring through streets with kids, wearing suits, and carrying backpacks. Best of all, not a single inch of spandex or a racing bike in sight.
