Bike It – an interactive city tour through Bremen

The city of Bremen’s cycling infra­struc­ture in­cludes many kilo­meters of off-road cycle paths through parks, green spaces and routes on or be­hind the em­bank­ments. In addi­tion, there are 720 kilo­meters of road­side cycle paths of very dif­fer­ent quality. The famous, grey, cold and wet Bremen weather is also un­avoid­able. Un­de­terred by this, ac­cord­ing to a 2008 study, cycling in Bremen ac­counted for 26.5% of all journeys made within the city (do­mes­tic traffic), which is higher than in most other major German cities. Bremen is there­fore often re­ferred to as a “cycling city”. 

The best way to ex­peri­ence the city is by biking. With the inter­active instal­lation “Bike It!”, the Free Hanse­atic City of Bremen in­vited people to do just that in 2014. 

They were able to virtually ex­peri­ence vari­ous cycle routes in and around Bremen on a cargo bike we had con­verted. By ped­aling, the riders moved, de­pending on their speed, some­times faster, some­times slower along the sights and pictur­esque land­scapes that Bremen’s cycle paths have to offer. If they stopped at one of these special points, they re­ceived further infor­ma­tion about the cycle route and the attrac­tions.

Does a cloud fit in a suit­case? What noises does a kitchen make? What is a scent organ? Where do you sleep during a polar ex­pedi­tion? What is it that glows in the under­ground of Frank­furt? Where is the division be­tween gaps and holes? And what hap­pens when 20 pigeons move into a gal­lery?
