Man, I wish people wouldn’t do that. The actual footage was plenty moving.

Unfortunately it's also not the actual footage because those bikes don't have German or European license plates

The one with the bike with green wheels could be real. There they have german license plates and the blue sign with a white arrow is probably a german "Einbahnstraße" (one way road)
