Some 250,000 cyclists rode through the streets of the German capital today in a massive demonstration for more respect from car drivers, according to organisers.
Under the motto, "Respect for bicycle riders", the cyclists rode through 16 different routes, covering a total of more than 300 miles of Berlin streets.
Organiser Mr Benno Koch said riders also wanted to show "the still under-estimated potential of the bicycle as an everyday means of transportation".
Mr Koch said participants included cyclists from the United States, Russia and Great Britain as well as Germany.
Last year's event drew 100,000.
