TK Ride Tour

The city belongs to you: At the TK Ride Tour connected to the Deutschland Tour you can take off on two wheels through the city. It doesn’t matter what kind of bike you ride and what your goal is: At the Ride we all go with each other, and not against each other.

Let's ride through the city together

Whether you are a trained commuter, a leisurely city cyclist, a newcomer to cycling, an e-biker, an excursion cyclist or the whole family - at the Prolog in Schweinfurt you have the chance to experience relaxed urban mobility on two wheels with your own bike or on a rental bike in the immediate vicinity of the finish area at the Ride Tour. The choice of bike is also up to you. Whether with a racing bike, mountain bike, Dutch bike, city cruiser, recumbent or e-bike, off the rack or even self-built - everyone is welcome at the Ride Tour. The routes of up to 15 km are doable for everyone.

All you need is a bike and a helmet. Participation is free of charge and only possible with registration.

In St. Wendel, the TK Ride Tour takes place on the closed prologue course. Where the pros fight for every millisecond a little later, the participants of the TK Ride Tour can ride as many laps as they can for 40 minutes on 2.4 km.

Course length: 2.4 km

Start time: 13:00

Duration: 40 min

Note: The TK Ride Tour is not a race! All participants who make themselves conspicuous by dangerous riding will be stopped and have to leave the track!

The Concept

The TK Ride Tour is primarily aimed at visitors who do not feel attracted by the more ambitious TK Cycling Tour, but who still enjoy cycling or would like to try out cycling together at their leisure. The TK Ride Tour is intended to show how pleasant cycling in the city can be. A highlight of the ride is the ride through the official finish of the professional race.

Niels Möllgaard, Head of Marketing at Techniker: "Cycling is already very healthy for our bodies: it gets the circulation going, is easy on the joints and trains the back and leg muscles. It's a great counterbalance to the job, especially since many people had little exercise in the home office. In keeping with the motto 'When the bike ride becomes a challenge', all TK-insured people can also collect bonus points for cycling with the TK-Fit module in our TK app and be rewarded."

At the five locations, the daily bike tours of the TK Ride Tour are one of the participation offers for the visitors of the Deutschland Tour. In addition, Die Techniker will be offering bike fitting and a VR simulator on site - a wide range of information and hands-on offers, from individual bike adjustment and correct behaviour in road traffic to TK services. This can be visited before or after the tour on the Expo grounds.

More information for all cycling enthusiasts and those who want to become one can be found on the Techniker Krankenkasse website.
