When I lived in Heidelberg there were many things that I really liked about the place. One of the things I liked the most was getting around by bicycle. I'd go by bike to work, to the shops and out in the evening. There are bike lanes everywhere and German drivers are very considerate towards cyclists, so it is relatively safe.
You'll see bikes everywhere in Heidelberg, particularly by the train station. If you have time, you can rent a bike from
Eldorado and see Heidelber and the surrounding area by bike.
There are lots of really nice bike excursions you can do - the ones to Schwetzingen, Speyer and Weinheim were my favourites as you spend most of the time on country roads restricted to farm vehicles.
