FRE!LAUF 2024
We would like to encourage you to begin the trip to the parallel universe by bicycle. For everybody traveling from Berlin to FRE!LAUF there is the great opportunity to ride your bike. Be part of our group an avoid overcrowded, stuffy trains.
bikex organizes community bike rides to different festivals, also to FRE!LAUF (D.I.Y.Bike Camp):
- from blu swim hall thursday at 10.30 Uhr and at 4 p.m. from Treffpunkt near Potsdam Hauptbahnhof. The route is 76 km long.
- Here you can find the information for the tour Potsdam- FRE!LAUF: Komoot und GPX
The group will be accompanied by cyclists who will accompany you smoothly to our destination. Nevertheless, we recommend that you have the routes with you on your GPS-compatible communication device. OsmAnd, for example, is a good app with offline map material for Brandenburg's no signal areas. If enough people will join the tour we will possibly take the street for some parts.
routes:
- Berlin - FRE!LAUF: Right now we preride the way to check everything over. If the tour is finalized we upload it via komoot and GPX here.
For joining the group ride you only need a festival ticket.
"I'm not that sporty!" you might be thinking. We say: Yes, you are! Together as a group we ride at a leisurely pace, taking pee/drink and short rest breaks wherever necessary and desirable. We want to experience at least a pleasant, at best an ultra-fun tour together, not a world-class performance in record time.
"But I always do a world-class performance in record time" we hear you say right there in the back. You can! We publish our routes here in various formats. If you want to go fast, find a buddy and hit the road when it gets too slow for you.
"But how will I carry my luggage?", you might be asking yourself. We understand. Especially on the way there, the luggage situation is often a bit more voluminous. Therefore: For those registered tour participants without professional luggage carrying equipment on their bikes, we will organise a luggage transporter that will take one large piece of luggage and a tent to the freilauf so that it's just you and the lightness on the bike. Please understand that we cannot offer this service on the way back. We hope that by then you stuff will be more easy.
Please note the following so that we can all have a relaxed journey:
- Register on the following form until monday, 6.8. 18:00 if you want to come along. We need information about the approximate number of participants to be able to plan the luggage transport. FRE!LAUF bike tour registration
- Label your luggage with your name and address.
- Do not bring more than 1 large piece of luggage + tent for the luggage shuttle. Additional space would be missing for other travellers.
- Check the roadworthiness of your transport device before departure. We have repair kits with us for emergencies, but would rather move together towards escaping reality than first making your bike ready for spring.
- Please think about your helmlet- for your own security.
