Eurobike has announced a new partnership with German mobility provider DB Connect, enabling attendees to ride, by bike or by train, to and from the Frankfurt based July 13 to July 17, 2022 show.

As an international meeting point for the bike industry, Deutsche Bahn Connect GmbH, a subsidiary of German railway company Deutsche Bahn, and a provider of sharing mobility, 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.

• 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 help of the official Eurobike map, and equipped with a “Call a Bike” rental bike, trade show fans can move freely through the city – in an environmentally friendly way.
• A city-wide road network of bike lanes – some already existing and some extra wide and specially set up for Eurobike – makes the journey to the event is already a great cycling experience in itself.
• Once visitors 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 Jürgen Gudd, executive director at DB Connect.

Stefan Reisinger, managing director at fairnamic and head of Eurobike, explains; “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.”

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.
