- Bike parks are charging new car park fees in addition to increasing lift ticket prices, thus burdening visitors twice over.
- In Leogang, the car park fee is refunded when purchasing a lift ticket, but not in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, Bischofsmais, Sölden, Zugspitz and Lenzerheide.
- The editorial team criticises the non-transparent pricing policy and parking fees as a hidden price increase instead of an honest adjustment of lift tickets.

- The Blindsee Trail in the Tiroler Zugspitzarena will be closed to mountain bikers from 2027, as decided by the Biberwier municipal council.
- The reasons are conflicts on the shared trail: reckless downhill riding, endangered hikers and offences on the lakeshore.
- The municipality criticises the tourism association; a separation of bikers and hikers is considered unlikely and harmful to nature.

- EIN coding engraves or sticks an individual owner code on the bike and deters fences and buyers of stolen goods.
- Coding is offered by the ADFC, police and dealers; non-removable adhesive codes are used for carbon or thin aluminium frames.
- When buying second-hand, look for a realistic price, complete accessories, frame number check, purchase contract and original invoice.

- Bike brands use well-known athletes and celebrities to transfer trust, credibility and lifestyle image to their products.  
- The authentic use of bikes by ambassadors is crucial; a lack of credibility can damage the brand image.  
- The aim of the co-operations is not so much direct sales, but rather reach, awareness and addressing new, non-cycling target groups.

- Gravel biking is developing from a sport into a social ritual in which regular greetings are expected and perceived as positive.
- There is an unofficial greeting code: who, where and how to greet, with priority for professionals, men first over women and no city greetings.
- Greetings are almost exclusively on handlebar bikes; different greeting levels create a sense of belonging and transform loneliness into brief micro-relationships.

Greeting variants in gravel biking: Greet yourself!

- Der MTB-Marathon beim BIKE-Festival Willingen am 30. Mai bietet drei Strecken: 33,7 km, 71,8 km und 110 km, mit unterschiedlichen Höhenmetern.

- In the district of Miesbach, a blanket ban on bikes on paths less than 1.5 metres in length in five of six landscape conservation areas is threatened from 2027.  
- Second draft regulation provides for zoning with possible exclusion zones; cycling associations will not be involved in their definition.  
- The DIMB, DAV and BRV reject the blanket regulation of path widths as disproportionate, are considering legal action and are calling for written objections.

- Bicycles characterise a family history as a symbol of freedom - from the first children's bicycle to today's profession of bicycle journalist.  
- Around 1900, Nuremberg was a centre of the bicycle industry: up to a quarter of German production, many manufacturers along Fürther Straße.  
- Early clubs and rules made cycling in Nuremberg a project for progress; the bicycle changed from a luxury good to everyday technology and remains the future.

- Mountain- und Gravelbiker überfahren auf Waldwegen unbemerkt kleine Tiere, die zu langsam oder gut getarnt sind und kaum ausweichen können.  
- Schnecken, Hummeln, Schlangen, Raupen und Schmetterlinge übernehmen wichtige Funktionen wie Bestäubung, Recycling und Schädlingskontrolle.  
- Der Text fordert mehr Achtsamkeit auf Trails, um diese oft übersehenen Waldbewohner nicht unnötig zu töten.

- Accell Group mit Marken wie Haibike, Ghost und Raleigh soll an den chinesischen Investor Johnny Liu (Dutech Holdings) verkauft werden.  
- Dutech hat am 26. Juni 2026 bei der deutschen Kartellbehörde die Freigabe beantragt, Entscheidungen werden in den kommenden Wochen erwartet.  
- Dutech besitzt bereits mehrere europäische Fahrradmarken und Technologien; eine Accell-Übernahme würde seine Marktstellung in Europas Fahrradbranche deutlich stärken.
