Hey
@OZDUCK
some careful geographic planning ahead of time is useful. Once located. It’s fairly straightforward, especially in the city suburban areas. I bought a fairly detailed map from a stall near the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer strasse and google maps “worked” even without wifi connection. as I was UNEquipped with Data definitely made it more of a muddle.
as far as the rural areas and ‘townships’ are concerned, there’s very few bike-riders and walkers (outside of locals taking the dog for A neighbourhood walk) and remember
NO COFFEE
NO CAFES
NO WIFI
NO SEATING
NO WATER FOUNTAINS
NO BEER
There’s an occasional Aldi . Lido and Normal (?) supermarket built on the former border strip. Eg Staaken (adjacent Spandau) but otherwise, seems odd that you need pack your own Provisions and carry them. (Ugh, extra weight Carrying plenty of water, chocolate, breakfast ham rolls grabbed from the hotel buffet, snacks, spare socks, jumper, cap, bottle-opener in case of need, on likely rainy days a rain jacket, (that probably all easier carried on a bike)
