Radlwerkstatt Survives: The shop that helps refugees & the underserved

Source: Abendzeitung

If you want to buy a second-hand bike, we recommend going to Radwerkstatt 18 because here young people with difficulties find work and community. But the building in Milbersthofen where they were offering second-hand bikes and repair work is scheduled to be demolished.

The good news is that they are moving to Allach and you can avail their services in 2023.

Leopoldstraße: A speed limit of 30 kmh only

The local traffic authorities have had a hard time slowing down cars on main thoroughfares such as Leopoldstrasse. As a result, they decided to lower the speed limit to 30 kmh starting in the spring of 2023. The goal is to reduce noise pollution and emissions. It’s also about safety for everyone on the road like cyclists and pedestrians.
