Well, the cherry blossoms are earlier in 2026. Already at the beginning of April, shortly after Easter, these trees are blooming in many places. That's why my friend and I scouted my bike tour "Kirchbaumblüte im Witthausbusch". Starting in Duisburg-Meiderich, we continued to Oberhausen-Altstaden. Besides

With the most beautiful Easter weather, 25 cyclists were able to complete a tour "from the past": to Binnenheide to Cafe Binnenheide. Changing owners, then closed: For many years we were guests here on Easter Monday. Since it reopened in May 2025, we went on "a grand tour" again. As in many places, there

Got lucky on our first afternoon tour of 2026 (it used to be called the 'after-work tour' and started at 5 p.m.). With the start at 4 p.m., light rain was forecast. And what can you say: exactly half an hour later it arrived, but turned out to be more like "damp air". 8 people bravely started anyway

This Saturday, March 21, 2026, we started in bright sunshine with 25 cyclists towards Kempen to the Gutshof Haus Bockdorf. Gut Heimendahl - as it is known colloquially - is famous for its year-round soup menu. Today, however, the focus was not on the potato soup on offer, but on old tractors. Once a

From my home, we first cycled to the meeting point at the village church in Moers-Schwafheim. With fantastic weather, we took the route through Duisburg's Nightingale Valley to Mülheim. The RS1

Attentive observers of my bike rides will notice: This type of ride takes place several times a year. The bad weather only provided the opportunity now to cycle to Venlo to replenish supplies like coffee and snacks. Despite the frequent occurrence of these rides, like-minded people always seem to join

During the 2025/2026 winter season, international artists created over 100 sculptures from 200 tons of ice at CentrO Oberhausen under the title "Ice World Oberhausen - Carnival of Ice Art." We at the ADFC (General German Bicycle Club) didn't want to miss this. The tour guide's motto was "Brevity is the

A small group from the ADFC Moers/Neukirchen-Vluyn cycling club is exploring Christmas markets in the surrounding area during the holiday season. In Kempen, with its charming old town on the Lower Rhine, many of the streets are festively decorated. Visitors are served homemade goods, art objects, small

The year is over again, and the "Christmas market-by-bike season" begins. The first stop, as always, is the Christmas market at and around CentrO. Lock up the bike, and off we go for the first stroll through the beginning crowds, searching for a bratwurst stand. Mission accomplished. Where can we find
