Stadelhofen station is a popular commuter station. Many people use bicycles at one or both ends of the journey. It's not unusual to have two bikes. One for the journey from home to station, and another from station to work, and just to leave them tethered there, rather than carting them on a busy train
I've been meaning to include a photograph of this station, designed by Calatrava for some time. It's a real favourite of mine and provides boundless photo opportunities, as well as being an architectural nicety. It shows off well Calatrava's use of organic forms and "engineering" approach. I think I'll be doing a wee series, so I'll give him a special category. Does it remind anyone a little of H R Giger?
