Radltour in Pegnitz: Prominent cyclists inspire with emotions and music

The BR cycling tour not only performed top sporting performance with its fourth stage, but also promoted a strong sense of community in the region. Around 1,000 cyclists have tackled this challenge, which once more underlines the importance of such events for the local community.

the community spirit and mobility

The bike tour offers a unique platform for people of all ages to get together and be active. Especially in times when the digital world replaces many everyday interactions, this event facilitates personal contact and the communicative connection between the participants. Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder emphasized the importance of this tradition and described it as a festival for the entire state. "For me, cycling tour always means: Experience the best of Bavaria," he said.

a committed volunteer team

The role of the volunteers should not be underestimated. In Schnaittach, over 100 helpers came together to supply the cyclists with food and drinks. Mayor Frank Pitterlein (CSU) praised the quick mobilization of the volunteers and stated: "The preparations required a lot of effort, but the helpers were passionate about it." This support is not only essential for carrying out the event, but also strengthens the collaboration and cohesion within the community.

emotional arrival in Pegnitz

The arrival of the cyclists in front of the town hall in Pegnitz was a highlight of the day. Many expected them to be happy and cheered on the athletes, while the band Labrassbanda provided musical entertainment. With the bike tour, BR director Katja Wildermuth would like to pass on the values of community and sport: "Get together and do sports with each other is so important".

A look ahead: The progress of the tour

This year's cycling tour continues the next day when the cyclists open towards Lower Franconia. After a strenuous day full of sporting experiences, the participants can look forward to two concerts in the evening, which represent a crowning glory. Milow will appear, for example, after cycling, which also enriches the event.

conclusion: a tradition that remains

The BR cycling tour is much more than just a sporting activity. It promotes the regional pride, the community and mobility within Bavaria. This link between sport and culture is crucial for the social structure and helps to bring people together. Katja Wildermuth underlined this with her appreciation for this event: "The Bavarian Radio will of course continue the wheel tour". This positive message shows that the commitment in the community and the joy of cycling will continue to exist.
