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

The most common safety risks that we come across in our daily work around bicycle safety, technology and operating instructions are also published by us in articles in the leading German special-interest magazines TOUR (Europe's road bike magazine no. 1), BIKE (Europe's mountain bike magazine no. 1), MYBIKE and EMTB in order to make this information, which is important for the industry, available to a wider public.

For many years now, the Eurobike Show Daily, trade fair magazine of the annual Eurobike Show, has also given us the opportunity to publish our view of major developments in the cycle industry in full-page articles.

We also speak regularly in independent expert presentations about all areas of bicycle technology and the bicycle market. In addition, we are quoted by further special-interest magazines of the industry and the trade as well as increasingly by radio and television in their media reports, which shows us that we are spot on with our advice. The section "News" informs you about the latest news from our specialist areas. The reports and publications of this section are listed chronologically or according to areas of interest.

The motto of the non-monetary prize is "Performance – Commitment – Appreciation" and acknowledges the voluntary social commitment of these companies. "With their commitment at their place of residence or worldwide the companies dedicate incredibly much time and heart", explain the Caritas directors Prelate Wolfgang Tripp (Stuttgart) and Monsignore Bernhard Appel (Freiburg) in the New Castle in Stuttgart in front of 400 guests. It is important to appreciate this commitment. And therefore the Caritas and the Ministry of Finance and Economy intended to express their appreciation and thanks with this prize.

The representative of the state government for medium-sized and craft trade, Peter Hofelich, explained: "The record number of participants is impressive proof that the companies in the south-west of Germany fulfil their social responsibilities to the full." Vicar general Dr. Fridolin Keck, representative of the Archdiocese of Freiburg, appreciated the social commitment of the companies which was exemplary and worth copying for the church, as well.
