nathank's commute in Munich
 

OK, well i finally remebered to take the digital camera with on the commute... didn't get as many photos as i wanted and then the battery ran out... but it turns out i have a ton of photos even though i felt like i missed so much. i guess there is just so much to see her.

anyway, my commute is about 11.5km from near the center of munich (i live 2.5km SE of the center) first northeast along the river and then east along bike paths and then on the street to my suburban office park...

this first photo is taken on my street. my apartment is the grey building on the far right on the 2nd floor (can't really see it). across the street is the park and the river is just beyond.

this is the park right by my house that i ride through to get to the river where there is a bike path:

a little further through the park. the Isar is straight ahead:

this is the walking/running path along the Isar. the bike path is barely visible to the left:

from the path, looking across the Isar is an old church:

the bike path along the Isar. the footpath is now to the left next to the river. there were actually fewer bikers out today as it was cooler and threatenting to rain:

underpass so you don't have to stop at traffic lights. notice the Blue signs for the bike path and the pedestrian path:

the other side of the overpass:

i stopped off to the side to take a photo of the German Museum (Deutsches Museum) across the river:

again along the bike path. a recumbant!

the bike path. notice the divided bike path with the RED bike sign meaning wrong way:

short pause next to the famous hot baths (building on the right). this area is a little tight with pedestrians and the 90 degree right curve at the end i always have to ride extra slow:

Is that the park with The English Gardens? I remember hanging out there (or rather the beer garden) while at a week-long IETF conference held at the Hilton back in 1997.

another Church along the way - across the river:

a footbridge over the river with the same church in the background:

bike path going uphill as i leave the river and head east:

small path through the meadow:

on to a bike path along a major street - b/c of the blue sign the path is here MANDATORY:

crossing street on the bike path. the woman with the yellow bands is wearing high heels!!

Great commute. Thanks for sharing it with us.

the bike path is gone, so to the street... notice the trolley tracks - i just missed the streetcar a few times:

the bike path goes next to the Autobahn. this is where the Autobahn starts - as opposed to the US where the freeways cut through the cities, in Europe the highways end when they reach the city:

crossing under the autobahn. the hatched lines are b/c of the bus stop and after that is a bike lane:

more suburban streets, so back to sharing with the cars:

Wow! Thanks for the pics... great commute!
