Daily Mail | July 27, 2017

Liverpool stepped their pre-season preparations up a gear on Thursday as they ditched the team bus in favour of pedal power on their way to training.

The Reds are in the picturesque German town of Rottach-Egern, on the shores of the Tegernsee in Bavaria, as they get ready for the big Premier League kick-off.

After leaving their hotel on Thursday morning, the squad and staff donned helmets and jumped on their bikes for a short ride to the local sports complex.
