Bike lanes are paved often in contrast red brick or grey tile.
There are occasional idiots on bikes who insist on trying to overtake you when there's a grandmother or someone pushing a baby carriage in your path, but I got used to blocking them as they came up behind. I have over 10 years of commuter bike riding, boys and girls, so although I look like an uncoordinated middleaged woman on a circus bike, I am wise to all your tricks. And I have a few of my own for special occasions.
As for pedestrians who didn't give a shit, I gave up trying to speak in German to them, just turned on the Margaret Thatcher voice.
Hamburg is a very rideable city and I'm glad I made the effort to visit.
Tomorrow I head for Berlin.
