What do the Germans know?

I did my annual trip to (one of) the largest bikeshop(s) of Germany
today which is within a one hour drive from my house. What do the
Germans know? I took some pictures. Judge for yourself. Enjoy.

Judging from the bikes on display, the average German cyclist must be over six feet tall.

That has to be one of the largest bike shops in the world. However, it appears to be woefully lacking in clutter and inked Bohemians (preferably serving espresso) -- essential features of any good U.S. bike shop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X2OicP5TMM

Hé it is a German shop: clean, well organized and efficient. Very few
employees with (visible) tatoos and/ or piercings. They have a coffee
corner though.

Putting the seatpost way up has a reason; not to scratch the post above the
final position.

I have mistakenly let my wife see those pictures. Now she will have
marked the road atlas with an exclusion zone.

(she wouldn't let me go to the Unimog museum either).

For the same reason I go only once a year. Everytime I need some
clothing. They have al the major brands and available in all the sizes,
which means I never leave without. This time a winter jacket and
wintershoes ;-)

Amazing.

There is no place like that in the United States. Most of the shops are
very small with a very small selection of clothing and accessories.

I think that they should open a branch in Silicon Valley.

Aside from the huge store Germans probably also hold the record for the
biggest bicycle:

I've travelled in Unimogs in Africa in terrain suited to them. Not very comfortable. In civilization it is a vehicle for a similar type of person who buys a Land Rover 90 with those curved windows in the roof, in short, a poser. Super durable engineering though, for the circumstances for which it was designed.
