thanks for the info man, pure gold!
When I was last in Berlin visiting I saw a couple of dudes going round Tempelhofer-it looked a bit bleak (well, winter in Berlin...) so Muggelsee sounds more appealing.
What do you think about living further out towards/past Johanistal/Adlershof/Grunau? I'm from Glasgow so most everywhere I've been in Europe feels clean, green and safe by comparison, but I don't seek out living in problem areas or shitty bits of town either if you know what I mean. Might be easier if you would be so kind as to tell me where I definitely wouldn't want to be-I'm studying a lot and still recovering from long term illness so don't mind being somewhere quiet/less fashionable.

I am here. Rents are indeed crazy. The influx of not only people but also capital looking for investment opportunities is obvious. And the fact that the city sold thousands of flats ten years ago. Also a lot of social housing is loosing that status right now. Now all we need is a Google Campus here in Kreuzberg and it will be great.
Has to be said though that its still pretty focused on Mitte and the hip places eg Neukölln. If you look a bit less central (which Neukölln might also mean because the Bezirke are huge and not all of Neukölln is full of tourists and pale ale but still a desperate and poor place) that might help.
For cycling there are the obvious city spots Tempelhofer Feld (going in circles around the airfield) and Grunewald Runde (circles around the city forest).
I am in Kreuzberg, so I tend to go south/southeast if I go riding. Britz-Buckowgoing south is nice using parts of mauerweg. I tend to go around Rangsdorfer See then. Kiefholzer Strasse is a long straight that takes you eats towards Müggelsee which has nice bike roads in the woods and then you go south to Königs Wusterhausen.
Further out one of my favourites is going to Märkische Schweiz. It has actual up and downhill for maybe 5 minutes!
