Buying advice
So many bikes, so many concepts - what suits which type of cyclist? Before buying a new bike, there are a few questions to clarify. The MYBIKE guide reliably leads you through the jungle of offers.
E-all-rounder test: The mid-range e-bike up to 3,500 euros
It's not just commuters who look forward to the perfect companion every day, because the ideal everyday e-bike has many talents. Six mid-range all-rounders in the MYBIKE test
All-rounder test: Six trekking bikes from 1,000 euros in comparison
In turbulent times like these, cycling is a particularly valuable form of compensation. However, the prices for bikes have risen significantly. We have selected six all-rounder bikes between 1,000 and 1,200 euros and tested them extensively. How good are the current year's affordable models?
Accessories: Classic products
Sustainability is not a new trend in the bicycle sector. Many products are so robust and well thought-out that they have been available for years or even decades without any major changes. MYBIKE presents the most important bike classics. All 19 parts have been extensively tested by the editorial team and have proven themselves time and time again in everyday cycling.
Individual test: Brompton Electric
Hardly any other folding bike has been produced almost unchanged for as long as the Brompton.
Brompton's classic is now also available with motorised power. How does the motorised version perform?
Workshop: Clean the drive
The worst dirt on the wheel is the mixture of Chain oilmetal abrasion and swirling dust. It gums up gears and gear wheels almost beyond repair - but only almost. Our workshop professionals have some great ideas on the subject.
Competition
Win a bikefitting weekend worth 1,500 euros
Aching hands, seat discomfort, knee pain when cycling. It is often due to the bike being set up incorrectly for the rider. The exclusive MYBIKE reader event under the motto "The posture must be right" offers the opportunity to have your bike customised to suit you.
MYBIKE is giving away 6 exclusive bike fitting weekends (21.04.-23.04.2022) at ergonomics specialist Ergon in Koblenz with professional bike customisation.

Travelling & Tours
Gourmet journey through Austria
Five of Austria's most beautiful long-distance cycle routes can be combined into an easy Crossing the Alps combine. The fact that enjoyment is not only a priority in the saddle, but also off the route, becomes apparent after the first few kilometres.
Short trip Vosges
The Vallée de la Bruche in the Vosges is synonymous with slowed-down enjoyment: the mountains surrounding the river valley are home to cosy villages, secluded road passes, a mythical peak - and many idyllic mountain inns.
Tour planner: Swabian Danube Valley
Between Ulm and Donauwörth, the still young Danube winds its way through wide forests and meadows. In the towns, cyclists encounter relics of cultural history dating back to the time of the Romans and Staufer emperors. We present 7 tour tips in the region.
Report: Saimaa Cycle Tour in Finland
In southern Scandinavia, endless summer days invite you to enjoy cycling tours with an adventure factor.
The Saimaa Cycle Tour event is a great opportunity for a special kind of night shift.
Report
Interview with bicycle globetrotter Heike Pirngruber
Heike Pirngruber has been travelling around the world by bike since 2013. What began in Heidelberg has taken her all over Europe, Asia and West Africa. In this interview, the 49-year-old explains how she organises her cycling trips, which country surprised her and what the price of freedom is.
Series: Company visit to CUBE
In Waldershof, just before the Czech border, Cube produces almost one million bicycles per year. This makes the Upper Palatinate-based company one of the five largest brand manufacturers in the world: insights into a growing factory and the global supply chain.
Guide & Health
Health check for cyclists
Recreational athletes and those returning to sport from the age of 35 should have a regular medical check-up
at least a short health check-up every three years.
If you're planning something bigger on your bike in 2022, you should book a sports medical check-up.
MYBIKE explains how the two examinations work and who covers the costs.
