To the trade show by bike: Eurobike and DB Connect are making it possible

Friedrichshafen/Frankfurt – Urban #mobility centered around bikes is one of the topics which the new #eurobike trade show in Frankfurt is focusing on. As an international meeting point for the bike industry, #eurobike was able to win over Deutsche Bahn Connect GmbH, a subsidiary of German railway company Deutsche Bahn and a provider of sharing #mobility, as its cooperation partner in 2022. From July 13 to July 17, 2022, all routes at the new #eurobike location in Frankfurt will offer smart and sustainable transportation to the trade show, where visitors can arrive by train or on a (rental) bike using the special #eurobike lanes. "With the move to the metropolis and the #eurobike Convention as a complementary #mobility platform, #eurobike will become the driving force behind the transformation of #mobility. The combination of content and conceptual design embedded in the city, the excellent infrastructure on site and the best national and international accessibility underline our claim as a leading global trade show and the most important live platform of the bike and urban #mobility industry," explains Stefan Reisinger, managing director at fairnamic and head of #eurobike.

Frankfurt gets on two wheels: Under its "Call a Bike" program, #dbconnect is waiting for the trade show with a fleet of more than 2,000 rental bikes, for which visitors to #eurobike will receive voucher codes. Conveniently placed rental stations at the city's main station and additional pop-up stations in the immediate vicinity link local and long-distance traffic to the trade show grounds. With the city-wide road network of bike lanes – some already existing and some extra wide and specially set up for #eurobike – the journey to the event is already a great cycling experience in itself. With the help of the official #eurobike map and equipped with a (rental) bike, even non-local trade show fans can move freely through the city – and they can do so in an environmentally friendly way. Once they arrive at the trade show, guarded bike parking spaces offer comfortable and safe parking for rental and personal bikes alike.

"Eurobike comes to Frankfurt am Main, and we here at Call a Bike are pleased to join up as its #mobility partner. We are also looking forward to contributing our perspective as an all-round #mobility provider to the exciting events and discussions around the trade show and convention," says #jurgengudd, executive director at #dbconnect.

In addition, Deutsche Bahn provides a discounted ticket quota for long-distance trips to the most important meeting point of the cycling community, now available at: https://www.veranstaltungsticket-bahn.de/?event=3105&language=de Using this comprehensive portfolio of #mobility services, all participants of the leading bike trade show can arrive at and depart from the event in a comfortable, car-free and sustainable manner.

DB Connect will also be present at the trade show itself with panel discussions, events and exhibits on the topic of "Bike and Rail" together with other DB companies. In addition to bike sharing, visitors can learn about further possibilities for combining train travel and bikes, such as the use of folding bikes that can easily be stowed in the luggage compartment on the train. In the long term, the aim is to further develop the cooperation between #eurobike and Deutsche Bahn in order to increase awareness of innovative and sustainable #mobility opportunities.

The 30th #eurobike is open from Wednesday, July 13, to Sunday, July 17, 2022 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Public days: Saturday and Sunday. For more information see www.eurobike.com.
