Err, right, that's what it, and I, said, "ein Rennrad entsprechend den gesetzlichen Vorschriften", a racing bike in accordance with legal guidelines.
And, yes, the comment do push back against the headline and OP's comment, that the bike racer is using the street despite being right next to the bike path, and that he's thereby endangering himself and others, by saying that the cyclist didn't do anything wrong, and the OP doesn't understand the law.
