Radler

Like I said, I've been away. I spent a couple of weeks in Germany for my summer hols, which included the best flea market I've ever been to and a super Mint Julep in Cologne, plus some Berlin fun too. Compared to London, mainland Europe is a cyclist's dream with cycle paths everywhere, bike spaces on the U-Bahn and even a special drink: Radler. In the UK it's called shandy, a 50/50 mix of lager or continental beer and lemonade, but in Germany its so called because you can drink it and still ride your bike home.
