You start at the Eigelstein City Gate, the old stone throat where medieval Cologne once let visitors into the walls. The first pedal strokes push you past tramlines and graffiti-creased facades, and the city opens like a layered map: punchy stencils in a back alley, a mural swallowing an entire block, stickers tucked under lampposts.
