BERLIN – German police say a Chinese cyclist's search for a Munich subway station ended with him pedaling for kilometers (miles) down the autobahn – oblivious to his mistake.
A patrol stopped the 26-year-old student on the A99 highway Saturday evening. He said he was at the end of an 80-kilometer (50-mile) ride from Augsburg.
A traffic police statement Sunday says he told officers he wanted to finish his journey by subway — so he followed blue signs with a "U," which mark subway stations in Germany.
Unfortunately, similar blue signs also mark diversions – "Umleitungen" in German – and they led him to the autobahn. Police say he was unaware of his mistake.
The man was fined €10 ($13) for illegal highway use and sent on his way with a map.
