As an American in Konstanz for 6 months, one of my first purchases was a city bike. People in…read moreKonstanz mostly walk, bike, or use the bus. There are not many places like Walmart, Target, or Dick's in the US that sell extremely cheap bikes, but I found this shop to be very fair and the owner is very friendly and speaks a little English. We purchased two adult bikes for 399 each, with the promise that he would buy them back from us for 100 each when we leave Germany. They include dynamo (wheel-powered) front and back lights, fenders, bells, and cargo racks in that price. 399 sounds like a lot, but a bike of this type, plus the fenders, lights, bells, and racks would cost more in the US because US bikes usually do not come with accessories. Highly recommended! Note: local debit cards or cash only. Visa charges small shops 10% in Germany.

An odd mix of bicycles, e-bikes, electric wheelchairs, and scooters. Bicycle selection includes…read moresome Felt and Canyon (mostly basic models, but a fewer high-end ones), and some odd used stuff (carbon full-suspension with XTR, anyone?)

2-Rad Ruprecht has an advertisement on top of Altberg, for good reason. It's one of the closest…read morebike shops to that choice section of singletrack, and they know it. The Ruprecht selection is definitely skewed towards sun-worshipping and adventure, rather than commuting --- when you walk in, there are knobby-clad fullys on the right, and sleek road racers and gravel-path lopers on the left. You can find fenders if you need them, but it isn't their focus. I was here for knobbies --- I'd just picked up a used mountain bike with commuter tires at the Velobourse, and needed some agressive tires for Altberg (and, the next day, Üetliberg). They had a great selection of appropriate choices (folding Schwalbes for 26", and folding Specialized for 29"), and Michael was happy to take a moment to check what similar bikes were specced with. This is the first of the local bike shops that reminded me of my old employers in the US --- land is cheaper outside Zürich center, and there's more room to spread the floor displays out. They don't have everything --- still couldn't find the extra-long cable lock I was looking for. I'll definitely be back next time I need something mud-oriented. This is definitely the Altberger Velohandler.
