You roll away from the Bike Depot and the city opens like a map of memory—broad boulevards give way to narrow checkpoints, then to a scar of green where the Wall once stood. Pedaling through Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg, the rhythm of the wheels matches the city’s pulse: tram clatter, cyclists’ chatter, the occasional clip of a camera as a plaque demands attention.
