Bridge
🫤 One of the few bridges in Cologne. There is always a lot of traffic here. Unfortunately, the cycle paths on both sides are extremely bumpy (see photo). Unfortunately, I've slipped a few times as a result. Otherwise, I would like to see a guard rail for cyclists and pedestrians to feel safer. Otherwi...
