- The Sonnenhangbahn and the second section of the bike park on the Großer Arber have opened unexpectedly, with 180 cyclists attending the unofficial launch of the new trails.
- Construction and refurbishment of the chairlift took place in difficult weather conditions; bikes are transported using special clips, and the trails are separated from those used by Wanderer.
- Currently, 10.5 trails and 3 lifts are in operation; ticket prices remain unchanged despite the expansion; the new “Arberstadl” replaces the Thurnhofstüberl as the main visitor centre.

- 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!

- 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.

- ‘Gracer’ refers to competitive gravel riders who consistently ride at high speeds on race/speed gravel bikes.
- ‘Tirebuzzer’ is the rubbing noise made by wide tyres against the frame or fork, often caused by ignoring tyre width limits.
- ‘Underbiking’ refers to riding on extremely challenging terrain with significantly inferior equipment, such as a gravel bike instead of an enduro bike.

- The heavily indebted Accell Group has gone into administration; around 3,700 jobs are affected worldwide, with plants such as Hunland in Hungary closing.
- German subsidiaries (including Haibike, Ghost and Winora) are continuing to operate under self-administration; wages are secured through insolvency payments, but their future remains unclear.
- An international tender process is underway; possible outcomes include a complete sale, the break-up of profitable brands, or the licensing of brands without retaining any production sites.
