Spring seams – the Germans demolish their bikes. But on the bike paths, it will also be full of another reason: the Ministry of Transport wants Pedelecs to use the use. But for whom is the sign "E-bikes free" actually?

Many cities have repealed the duty for cyclists in the past few months to use bike paths. There is indeed many questions about use, says Peter Schlanstein, police force commissioner and lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences for Public Administration in Munster. The confusion for Radler starts with it that there are three types of cycle paths:
- The actual Bike paths are structurally furnished and dropped with at least one curb from the road.
- Cyclist By contrast, part of the road and a solid line separated from car traffic.
- Protective strip are only demarcated by a dashed line from the roadway. The bicycle pictogram is painted here with white paint. "On protective strips is only a duty for cyclists to use them in the framework of the legal train. While driving away from bike paths and cycling strips for cars is basically prohibited, motorists can only run over protective strips, if necessary, without jeopardizing cyclists – but not parking there", So Peter Schlanstein.

Who has to, who may be on the bike path?
But you really have to drive as a cyclist on the bike path? That too depends on:
- Bicycles must drive on the bike path, When it is usable and a blue bike path sign obliged. If you still drive on the street, a warning money can be due. The regulation applies to both bike paths and for cycling strips.
- Where the shield is missing, May the roadway be used even if the wheel path (but not the footpath). Namely, investigations have shown that there is a high degree of accident risk (especially in bending cars), as if the bikes are on the road. Also the conflict potential with pedestrians is bigger.
- "Wheel path use obligations may only be arranged where for cyclists the use of the road would be too dangerous", Says Peter Schlanstein.
- Except wheel drivers, no other road users may use the bike paths.
In the future, Pedelecs, so bicycles with electric auxiliary drive, are now allowed to use bike paths – if the shield "E-bikes free" it allows. The Federal Ministry of Transport wants to authorize the authorities to change the Road Traffic Code.

What is actually an e-bike?
The problem: "The term E-Bike is unequivocally and legally not written. Under this term all sorts of vehicles are understood", Says Stephanie Krone from the General German Bicycle Club E.V. (ADFC). So when you can drive on the bike path? Subdivided between:
- Pedelecs 25 (Support up to 25 km / h maximum engine power 250 watts), are legally bicycles, so can actually drive on cycling trails)
- S-Pedelecs (Support up to 45 km / h, are legally motor vehicles, may be on cycle paths not Driving, because bike paths are designed at speeds up to 25 km / h)
- Elektro-Mofas (also automotive vehicles, accelerate – without kicking, with gas lever – up to 25 km / h, may drive out of bike paths if there is a corresponding additional sign "mopfas free")
AdFC Federal Board Ludger Koopmann says: "The Ministry of Transport has aware of the text of the planned STVO or unconsciously thrown a fog candle. In fact, S-Pedelecs – ie motor vehicles that reach 45 km / h – we consider that for extremely risky. Cycling trails are designed for 25 kilns. When highly engineed pedelecs are also on the road in the future – and also on much too narrow and bumpy bike paths – then the accident risk will rise. The ADFC speaks vehement against a release of cycle paths for S-pedelecs with peak speeds of 45 kilometers kilometers."

Only for "small" Pedelecs
Peter Schlanstein from the police expects it, that Pedelecs are meant with up to 25 km / h maximum speed, "which is not legally right from the outset (according to § 1 abs. 3 StVG) to classify as a bicycle. These are such those that can be accelerated from the stand, even without the simultaneous occurrence of the driver, to more than 6 km / h", so stranded.

If necessary, if falling below a certain weight, even quite legal on the road, as it pleases the high speed completely unparalleled athletes precisely. Seniors over 65 years should also be limited to their own safety on the 25 km / h E-wheels.
Laws, punishments
If everyone would stick to the rules in the video, it would be easy.As with drivers O footpaths, there are always a few idiots that are my own rules for you.The law would not contribute to relaxation.
The entire scheme to the …
Classifications of the SOG. Bicycles is nonsense. The only thing you need is the scheme that passes (usually overtake) may be done at most at a maximum of 25km / h, even if a two-wheeler itself can drive much faster. I also encounter on the bike path in front of our house continuous cyclist without e-support, which are faster than 25km / h. In addition, unusations should also two-wheelers up to approx. 90km / h on bike paths and the like, for security reasons! The O.G. Limitation of passing speed is completely sufficient as a regulation. Catastrophic is dangerous, on the other hand, the oncoming traffic on narrow bike paths, no matter at what speed; because no normal cycle path is wide enough for 50km / h differential speed.
What a crap !!!!
Bicycles on bike paths must be mandatory and also be controlled !!!! Speed limits should also apply to cyclists. Traffic proceeds should be assigned to me driving ban on cyclists despite cycling trails on he street all mtoor-powered vehicles on the street, rest on bike path
Pedelecs
A pedelec can never be accelerated from the stand without accelerating to over 6 km / h! Finally, it does not have a gas grip, otherwise it would not be a pedelec!
Everything I can recognize,
is the possibility of urging the city bags a bit from the inside, by imposing plenty of fines against cyclists. Therefore, that was not greatly communicated, but just comes into force. In this way, of course, the chance increases to catch more cyclists at an unfortunate driving. Why do you always try to create some sources of money on an adventurous way? TZ TZ TZ
If that were true
Then every city or community could a fortune. I’m traveling every day in the urban area and can recognize at least 5 administrators of cyclists per minute.
Have nothing else to do?
It wives the official mold, but huge. Do not do the officials other? Eigendously, the authorities and laws should be revealed. Imaginable would be a set to the bike path. A bike path is characterized by a sign. Everyone can understand. Or the driver’s license examination regulations requires new weak measurements?
Two-wheeler
Two-wheel artists and artists are in the circus and not on the road. These road users are not accepted only if there is for the aptitude test to be deposited and the two-wheelers are subject to compulsory insurance and must bear a visible license plate. Only then is it ensured, the two-wheeler, which cause an accident can be recognized and tracked. At the moment, the two-wheel trucks are anyway, for which the StVO apparently does not exist and always be in law.
AW: Zwriradfahrer with license plate
As a cycling and motorist I would like to question your presentation – at least in relation to Berlin -. As long as the majority of cyclists on the street (!) The most basic rules do not apply, I would not like to leave it.

New regulations for cyclists
Since there is again the official mold! 3 differently interpreted cycling trails, we will soon make the driver’s license for cyclists? So much idiotess is only available in Germany! Instead of creating a generally to be used bike path, dear 3! When civil servants plan something!
nonsense
Also for cars there are asphalt roads, concrete roads and cobblestone roads. Madness, three stairs for a car! Somehow depends on the local conditions… and the distinction Pedelec 25 and S-Pedelec is just the distinction between bicycle and moped, only with new advertising designations. Finally, Mofa Uncool and S-Pedelec Up to Date is
On the penultimate picture
is a novel traffic sign with the shield "bike street" to see. Unfortunately, nothing is said in the article about it. – Further information on racing bikes that can be passed faster than 25 km / h would also be helpful. Which useful obligations are there when a single racing cyclist and when a group of racing birdlists use the public traffic space?
Here the official text
§2 ABS4 StVO: (4) 1: Cyclists must drive one behind the other; You can only drive side by side when the traffic is not hindered. 2: You must use cycle paths when the respective direction of travel is marked with signs 237, 240 or 241. 3: You can use other right bike paths. 4: You may also use right side strips if there are no bike paths and pedestrians are not hindered. 5: This also applies to mops that are moved by kicking. __________________________________________________ 5: Outside of closed villages, Mofa’s bike paths are allowed to use.
which one….
…. Bicyclist is sticking to it? …. None! Exactly that has to be changed! Bicyclists are clearly the weaker road users, but unfortunately they always feel in the "strongest" position. Therefore, there are so many injured and dead. Consideration is foreign to you!
