wanna rent a bike?

yey, yey, you read right!
I wanna tell you about a uptodate method to rent a bike in Germany, invented by our ex-monopolist railway Deutsche Bahn.  You  register on their website www.call-a-bike.de with your cell phone number and from this on you can rent a bike in Berlin, Frankfurt/M., Cologne, Munich and Stuttgart just by calling the phone number on the bike. Every bike has another number. Right away you receive a code you type in on a panel on the lock. And then: Let's go! .

You can rent and leave them on every hotspot within the city, which you can also find on their website.

bikes from the Deutsche Bahn...

and from a competitor.

As far as I know the system works fine and is very popular . What do you think?

P.S: As I agreed with my 25.000th visitor Flag to blog about a specialty in Silky's land. Voilá, here it is!
