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.

VSF-Kongreß "Fahrrad. Markt. Zukunft." in Bremen

Das neue Produktsicherheitsgesetz war das Thema von Dirk Zedler, Sachverständiger für Fahrräder aus Ludwigsburg.

Das Produktsicherheitsgesetz gilt seit August 1997. Fahrradhändler beeinflussen durch die Montage und die Reparatur die Sicherheitseigenschaften eines Fahrrades. Rechtlich sind sie damit durch das neue Gesetz näher am Status des Herstellers als an dem des Händlers. Damit ergäben sich eine ganze Reihe von Verpflichtungen: von der Instruktionspflicht vor Gebrauch bis zur "Produktbeobachtungspflicht" im laufenden Betrieb. Das stelle neue Anforderungen an den Handel, müsse aber auch als Chance zur Imageverbesserung der Zweiradbranche wahrgenommen werden, so die These des Ludwigsburgers. Mehr dazu im nächsten Heft.
