Berlin: Next Sunday annual "Bicycle-Star-Ride", more than 200,000 expected

Hi all,

For all not too far away from Berlin: Next Sunday, June-7, takes places the world`s biggest bycicle demonstration in Berlin, the annual "Bicycle-Star-Ride" ("Fahrradsternfahrt"). Usually, more than 200,000 cyclists are on the streets (eg in 2007: 250,000, in 2008 the bicycle club and the police couldn`t get agreement on the number, but it was similar, I think).
This year, the Senate of Berlin wanted to hinder us to ride on the inner city Autobahn (like we ride on every year), but the cyclists have won the law-suit against the Senate (a red-red-coalition), so we can ride on all planned routes incl the Autobahnen "Avus", "A-100", etc ...

unfortunately, the organiser, the local bicycle club ADFC-Berlin, provides no english information...
