All about bicycles, electric-assisted bikes, technology and safety in the press

In our daily work as we deal with bicycle safety, technology and user manuals we come across lots of safety risks. The most frequent ones are published in articles of the leading German special-interest magazines TOUR – Europas Rennrad-Magazin Nr. 1, BIKE – Das Mountainbike Magazin Europas Nr. 1 and E-Bike – Das Pedelec-Magazin to make this information important for the sector accessible to a wider public.

For many years now the Eurobike Show Daily accompanying the annual international Eurobike Show has given us the opportunity to publish our perspective on major developments in the cycle industry in full-page articles.

We also speak regularly in independent lectures about all topics relating to bicycle technology and bicycle market. In addition, we are regularly cited by further special-interest magazines or trade journals as well as more and more by radio and television and in their media reports, which shows us that we are completely right with our information. The section NEWS informs you about the latest news from our specialist fields. The reports and publications of this section are listed chronologically or according to topics of interest.

His horse is the iron horse and his mission the conviction that tomorrow’s mobility should be less determined by four-wheel horse power giants and more by feather light high-tech machines. The suffering lies in the fact that people do not easily get used to other habits. Revolutions take their time in these latitudes. "It's progressing slowly", says Zedler. "But I'm persistent."

Such a sentence from him is rather a promise than a threat. The engineer is 50 years old; two thirds of it he has been dealing with bicycles and their technical potential. The effects of the two-wheel matter and him are like salt water. The more you drink of it, the thirstier you become. And Dirk Zedler is thirsty for new horizons of mobility. (…)
