I especially remember having one point or so deducted from my score or something similar because supposedly I hadn't turned my head to look behind when I made a left turn. I was quite pissed off with the police dude. Obviously pissed off enough to recognize him when I saw him like 15 years later in a judo club. :D Ok, I wasn't really that pissed off and I don't know why I had been able to recognize him again and he was actually nice. That was quite the coincidence anyway, because the judo club was not in our home town. Munich is a pretty bicycle friendly town as far as I can tell. There are many cycle tracks in the city and I've also noticed that in many one-way streets cyclists are still allowed to go in both directions. There is a lot of traffic here, but I think car drivers are more used to cyclists and a bit more considerate. Although I'm still cursing a lot at all the stupid drivers who are not paying attention at whose right of way it is. Actually, who I might hate as much are the pedestrians who walk on my cycle track or the cyclist who comes from the wrong direction (not that it would ever occur to me to do that... :D)! They can be glad I only have a bell and not a horn... ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I actually remember this bicycle training we had when I was a kid.
