	postcard from Germany: bikes and trains
		But to give them their due, the transport mentality in Germany (I refer of course to a general state of mind in relation to matters of travel) is of a different cast to that in Ireland and deserves to have its highlights highlighted.
		Having been in Germany for some time now, it makes me blush to think how casually Irish people jump into their cars to pick up a litre of milk from the local shop or to ferry able-bodied young villains to and from the local school twice everyday.
		The attitude in Germany when it comes to short distances is to "get on your bike, Florian." And with bikes to be had for IR£15-£50 (19-63.50) in every university town in the country, it is a rare occasion that you meet someone who doesn’t possess AND actually use one.

	Trains
		We have taken such a train anyway on a couple occasions because we had a ticket on another train but either took the earlier one or because of a missed connection.
		Sometimes, these trains will connect with busses to villages off the track so it may be possible to buy a “train” ticket to a village several miles from the closes railroad.
		The trains are so crowded sometimes that the conductors can't navigate their way through the train to check tickets.

	G4 - Feature - Trains Reach High Speeds With Magnets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Several US metro areas, and countries including Germany, Japan, and China, are developing high-speed magnetic limitation, or "maglev," train technologies that could help put an end to commuter nightmares like sitting in traffic or driving for an hour just to get across a city.
		Conventional trains are noisy due to the friction between their wheels and the steel rails, Perdon says, but maglev trains are much quieter.
		Germany and Japan have working demonstration trains, and Germany has allowed more than 200,000 people to hop on board to see what it's like.

	Scary Trains

	Using Trains in Germany
		It is perfectly feasible to take your bikes on the majority of German trains, we have used it several times.
		This is very much hernia inducing and back wrenching stuff so unless you wish to do yourself a mischief think about unhooking those panniers before the train arrives, the DB recommends that you remove luggage from your cycles to conserve space inside the carriages anyway.
		If you are really lucky and your train was like the one that we travelled on from Frankfurt Oder to Hamburg, it was simplicity itself as the doors are at the same level as the platform and you could wheel them in fully loaded with no problem.
