Fahrradfahren ist notwendig » Mika Meskanen

If you need to buy a bicycle in Berlin and your budget is around 200-400 euro, one excellent place to look is the eponymous Fahrradladen in Lychener Straße 39, at Helmholzplatz. They have a nice collection of Hollandräder — products of this nation on two wheels. Then again, the obvious choice of a Finnish gentleman would be Helkama Oiva. I'm only a bit worried about its manufacturing quality because I was able to bend one's handlebar with bare hands in an uphill situation. If you think Swedes do it better, there is always Kronan. Finally, the title of this post refers to a short music film with M.A. Numminen.
