One nice thing about Berlin is that it was created by glacial sheets of ice so the whole place is dead flat. Which makes it the ideal place to cycle around. So that's what many Berliners do. I love that here people cycle around in their ordinary clothes with their bags like *normal* people. The only people that cycled in Sydney were die-hards in skin-tight lycra. Cycling is a massive pain in Sydney (and even Canberra) because of all the hills, so only crazy people do it.
I'd post a photo, but the Eee PC photo tools are completely lame and don't have the time to fiddle with anything else at the moment.

The part of Ohio I live in is flat as a board. Typically the only hills are those at overpasses.
As for the skin-tight Lycra ... man ... everybody would wear it if they only knew how comfortable it was on the legs.
