Cycling traffic signs and rules in Germany I'm over 30 and have just started cycling in real traffic, my first experience, as I have only ever ridden as a child in parks and such. I live in a university town in the state of Baden-Württemberg in Germany. Unfortunately, I have no clue about traffic signs as I neither drive nor hold a drivers license. Could someone recommend a place where I can learn about the traffic signs for cyclists, what they mean, the rules for cyclists, safe riding guidelines, etc? I have tried reading the legal rules, but my German is basic and those make my head hurt. Perhaps a site with photos of signs,simple language (either german or english)would be wonderful. I hope that all the cycling enthusiasts here can help me ride safely and correctly.
You might consider contacting the ADFC (Allgemeiner Deutscher Fahrrad-Club). It is an association specifically for people who cycle as a means of transportation (rather than as a sport - though of course the two are not mutually exclusive).

They are part service organization, part environmental organization. They have local groups (Kreisverband / Ortsverband) in almost every city, which usually have regular meetings. Contact your local group (or just go to the local meeting); they will be very happy to give you hints, share local knowledge etc. (even if you are not a member yourself).

Many local groups even have explicit meetings for people new to the area, or new to cycling in general, where they try to pass on useful knowledge.

For a list of local groups: ADFC vor Ort

They also have a lot of general information on their website. See e.g. Sicher unterwegs.

Note: Most stuff is only available in German, but I hope basic German is enough to read it. Local groups will be German as well, but many people will speak some English.

Disclaimer: I am an ADFC member myself, and have been active for several years.
