Nextbike

Bicycles are taking over the world and we couldn’t be happier about that. Kassel is one of more than 50 German cities that take part in the excellent NextBike scheme, a public bicycle initiative that really couldn’t be simpler. All you need to do is register online or via the Nextbike app, choose a bike, rent it, and then return it at the end of the day. Modern technology is a glorious thing. The basic rate is just €1 for 30 minutes, but you can also rent a bike for the week for the princely sum of €10. There really is no excuse. Registration is entirely free of charge as well.
