We are back in Berlin
After three years of cycling once around the world – and letting our Bromptons hibernate a little longer than planned – we’ve finally made it back to Berlin.
We’re easing back into city life and already started to explore Berlin by our little folding bicycles. And, we love it…
2 Wheels, 1 Destination – Letters, Neon & a Folding Bike Off Track
Some places in the city aren’t just destinations. You roll there – intentionally, with open eyes and a foldable heart. And sometimes, your Brompton ends up parked between neon signs, looking like part of the exhibit.

Today’s ride: The Berlin Museum of Letters.
3,000 characters that once lit up rooftops, cinemas, department stores and curry joints.
Saved from the scrapyard, cleaned, catalogued, and glowing again – full of stories, shapes, and nostalgia.
Why visit?
Just steps from Bellevue station – easy to reach
Next to Tiergarten – perfect for a post-museum cruise
Unexpectedly moving: neon letters tell Berlin’s past
Friendly welcome, lovingly curated, beautifully chaotic
A photo dream for anyone into typography, design, or urban quirks

Our verdict:
With a Brompton, you don’t need a rigid plan. Just two wheels, one destination – and the curiosity to wander. And sometimes, you find more than a museum. You find a flickering “R” blinking at you softly, as if to say: You belong here.
