In the cold of winter – on a day when sunrise and sunset were separated only by seven and a half hours of cloudy daylight in Berlin – Marion Giesske rode her bike to work.
This wasn’t a remarkable occurrence in her life; she also rides in the warmth of summer, when Berlin’s daylight lasts for almost 17 hours, and on most days in between. But it does make her a success story in a grand design in Berlin and cities throughout northern Europe to ween commuters off car travel and onto bikes. From her perspective, riding a bike is an easy choice.
