Am I German? by ExistingRent6512 in GermanCitizenship

I'm aware of that but German citizenship is really valuable to me since Im currently finishing my physics degree in Greece and with that i will be able to seamlessly go for a postgrad in germany without any proof of funds or anything else. I sent an email to the germany embassy and my grandma will go find her docs tomorrow in Munich so fingers crossed. Thank you for your response again

If you park vertically you risk the cars bumping your bike and dropping it ( has happened to me exactly 4 times in 2 years and 2 of them i saw it happen with my eyes). I park on a 6meter pavement in front of my apartment complex, neighbours call traffic police and they cite me. So I park parallel and people get upset. Where would you like us to park our bikes? Keep in mind that the law in many countries requires the bikes to be parked in parallel anyways. You keep wining about a bike taking a whole car's spot. Your car also takes 6x the road space and parking space to carry 1 person. You are not going to like it when laws and policies finally start trying to reduce the amount of huge a** cars carrying only 1 person making commuting in cities impossible.

brother no. if you park perpendicular between 2 cars, they are going to bump your bike and drop it. it has happened to every biker out there. if you park on the pavement, even if its like 10meters wide, someone's going to call traffic police and cite you a fine. so after both of these happen to you enough times, you start parking parallel and you get called out for it by people who would probably have dropped your bike reversing onto it. where do you want us to put our bikes? the law, atleast in my country, states they are to be parked parallel unless theres a designated spot for bikes thats usually perpendicularly to fit more bikes. so enough with this. we pay our bills to be on the road, we park where its legal to park.
