If you are interested in starting or leading a cycling group yourself, please get in touch with us. We could also imagine this in the form of a course, especially to get beginners excited about more structured cycling.

The Team Radmarathon Greifswald e.V. (TRG) organises the traditional Anradeln cycling event every spring. The club joins forces with numerous cyclists to ride a lap around Greifswald in what will hopefully be glorious spring weather.

The start of the three routes (sporty approx. 60 km, fitness approx. 45 km, family approx. 20 km) is at 9:45 a.m. from the Radcenter Fründ (Rigaer Str. 9, 17493 Greifswald, Ostseeviertel shopping centre). The ride takes place in a closed group led by the sports enthusiasts of the TRG. Experience has shown that the average speeds are 28-30 km/h on the sporty route and 23-25 km/h on the fitness route. Everyone is guaranteed to be able to keep up on the family route.

So that you can cycle the route on your own or with others outside of the event, here is the route for you:

Greifswald now has its own bike park. The grounds of the Stadtwerke Bike Park [de] have been specially developed for cycling. The park includes the VTK pump track with artificial mounds, steep turns, jumps and steps – the perfect terrain for all BMX and dirt bike enthusiasts. The bike park is operated by HSG Uni Greifswald e.V., an independent sports club that originated at the university.

The (Vorpommern-)Rad-Touren-Fahrt (RTF) is the best known and most widespread type of cycling event for everyone in the German Cycling Federation (Bund Deutscher Radfahrer e.V.) [de]. It usually takes place once a year at the beginning of September.

As there is no timekeeping and there are usually three parallel routes (between approx. 41 and 170 km) to choose from, participants can set their own pace. Anyone can take part in cycle tours, even if they are not members of a cycling club. The start and finish area is usually located in Greifswald on the grounds of the Waldorf School Greifswald. The tour usually starts on a Sunday at 9 a.m.

Those who prefer to cycle in a team and are a little more ambitious may be better suited to Team Radsport der HSG Uni Greifswald e.V. [de]. This is an independent club whose cycling division brings together over 100 ambitious amateur competitive athletes, hobby cyclists and young aspiring athletes.
