Since the bicycle is one of the primary ways to get around, should we mention how to get to Mainz by bicycle? |

Just a note: this is not an official website (it says so in the footer). That said, it seems genuinely helpful and not aimed at exploiting people (as many such sites are). Still, might be a good idea to point this out?
An official EU source seems to be e.g. https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies/schengen/visa-policy_en
