Berlin is not only a political capital, but also a true city of cyclists. Anyone who loves their bike will find addresses here for every need, from the tailor-made bicycle to quick roadside repairs. At Tortuga Cycles & Cafe in Prenzlauer Berg there are custom bikes and cosy tours to go with them, velophil in Mitte advises on the right riding position, and the Radspannerei in Kreuzberg is a workshop and meeting point in one. The Fahrradladen Mehringhof with its own workshop and the only cycling school for adults in Steglitz have also made it onto the list. Ten recommendations for everyone who likes to experience Berlin best on two wheels. Which address will you head to before your next tour?

I get around Berlin almost entirely by bike, which is why I know how much a good workshop is worth. While putting this list together, I discovered shops that are far more than mere points of sale. At Tortuga Cycles in Prenzlauer Berg there is even coffee to go with the advice. I am sharing my favourite addresses for everyone who enjoys cycling.
In the charming Pankow neighborhood lies a small bicycle paradise called Tortuga Cycles & Café. This place is especially known for its custom-made bicycles and its cozy "Slowcial" bike tours, where like-minded cycling enthusiasts are brought together.
