When people think about the topic of "alcohol and cycling," they usually immediately think of the blood alcohol limit . But the reality in urban traffic is more complex. It's not just alcohol that increases the risk – typical city hazards such as dooring, heavy traffic, poor visibility, and distractions also play a key role.

Winter is just around the corner, and for passionate cyclists that means cold fingers, limited mobility, and often the urge to leave the bike at home. But there's a clever solution that makes cycling comfortable even in freezing temperatures: heated gloves.

Thieves hate this trick: hiding an AirTag on your bike 😉 In this article, we'll show you practical, safe, and inconspicuous ways to attach an AirTag to your bicycle – including the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods.

E-bikes are no longer simple bicycles. Motor, battery, sensors, and software make them highly complex systems. This is precisely where a modern maintenance concept originating from industry comes into play, one that is becoming increasingly relevant in the e-bike sector: predictive maintenance , i.e., data-driven, proactive maintenance.

Many people who want to ride an e-bike ask themselves a crucial question: How much weight can an e-bike actually handle? Especially if you have a higher body weight or want to carry additional luggage, the load capacity of an e-bike is not a detail – but a key safety criterion.

Theft is a major concern for e-bike owners. Modern systems offer far more than traditional bicycle locks. Bosch's solution is particularly interesting: with an intelligent immobilizer and a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone, the e-bike can only be used when the paired phone is within range.

Many people know that exercise is healthy. But did you know that the timing of your activity can be crucial when it comes to blood sugar levels? New research shows that a short walk right after a meal can be more effective than a workout beforehand. For people who want to actively improve their health—whether through cycling, e-biking, or short walks—this simple strategy can have a big impact.

Fat bikes are no longer just a trend for adventurers in snow or sand. Their wide tires, which provide grip on any surface, make fat bikes a versatile piece of sports equipment that not only excels on leisurely tours but is now also used in professional racing.

Tax depreciation plays a crucial role when companies, the self-employed, or freelancers purchase an e-bike. With the Growth Opportunities Act and the Immediate Investment Program, there is now an important change: the general declining-balance depreciation (§ 7 para. 2 EStG) has been reintroduced – and this makes e-bikes significantly more attractive as business assets.

A dead or forgotten battery is a classic worry for e-bike riders. But what actually happens if the battery suddenly dies – or wasn't even inserted in the first place? Can you ride an e-bike without a battery? The short answer is: yes, you can. But how convenient or practical that is depends heavily on the specific e-bike model and its intended use.

Fat bikes are no longer just a niche product for riding in snow or on sandy trails. With their extremely wide tires, ranging from 3.8 to over 5 inches, they offer a unique riding experience that differs significantly from classic mountain bikes or gravel bikes. But what exactly makes the riding dynamics of a fat bike so special? We delve deep into the technology, physics, and practical application.

In recent years, the e-bike has undergone a remarkable transformation. What was once primarily considered a recreational device is now increasingly used as a practical means of everyday transportation – not just as a supplement, but often as a full-fledged replacement for the car . Given rising fuel prices, the climate crisis, overcrowded cities, and growing parking shortages, this is a trend with a future. But can an e-bike truly replace a car? Let's take a closer look.
