<h3>A center for cycling into the Alps</h3>
<h3>Cycling life in Vienna, Austria</h3>
<p>There’s a good reason why Vienna was at the centre of the Austrian empire – I won’t go into the historical context. Instead, I’ll focus on the fact that Vienna sits close enough to the Alps, Slovenia, Southern Germany and Italy, to make a perfect spot for a cycling trip. I’m quite certain that the Austrian Emperors were thinking this way, when this beautiful city was established. For a city of over 2 million inhabitants, it also has such superb access into the mountains, with nearby mountain passes climbs, less than an hour’s riding away. Yes, situated at the eastern edge of the Alps, you can also take on a cycling tour adventure to Nice, on the western edge of the Apls, or to Trieste – 4 days riding away – on the Italian coast, and with such historic links back to the days when Austria lay at the center of European history.</p>
<p>Neatly situated at Praterstrasse, VELETAGE isn’t simply a bike shop in Vienna. To describe it as such is to fail to understand how it operates and its purpose. Situated only 10 minutes from Saint Stephen’s Cathedral, this cycling hub and retail consultancy (and coffee stop for riders), is a central part of the Vienna cycling scene, and a ‘must visit’ salon for cycling culture, for local cyclists, those travelling the Euro Velo 6 route, or cyclists heading into the Alps. Owned and operated by Kurt, VELETAGE is different from a mere retail store in so many ways. It’s a place filled with some of the best bike brands and products in the world, and where their in-house bikefitting studio will work with you to create your own perfect bike, listening to you, and guiding you on your cycling lifestyle journey, in this most cultural of European cities – Vienna.</p>

<p>Talking with Kurt, it’s obvious how passionate he is about cycling, the accessibility of Vienna for cyclists, and delivering high-quality and high-performance bikes to cyclists visiting the store. For Kurt and the team, it’s all about creating a partnership between the customer and the store, so that VELETAGE can understand your true needs, before working with you to create your own perfect bike.</p>
<p>They recently developed and created a 25 000 Euro, Italian Sarto custom build for a customer; using this iconic Italian artisan brand at the heart of the bike. This piece of cycling art was put together specifically for a customer and comprised of the best parts in the cycling world: A Sarto Raso TC with SRAM Red AXS; wheels built with rims from ENVE using carbon spokes and Carbon-Ti hubs. Chain rings and brake discs are super lightweight, made by Carbon-Ti. The cockpit is the one-piece AR stem-bar unit, also from ENVE. This was the first time that Sarto has used this cockpit from ENVE &#8211; so spacers had to get custom 3D-printed especially for this bike. This is the level of expertise and excellence that cyclists visiting VELETAGE and Vienna get – the very best cycling service in the world.</p>

Ultimately, it’s about what bike suits you, your style of riding… and your budget. As mentioned earlier, VELETAGE isn’t simply a cycling retailer – it’s an information portal into another world, filled with some of the best bikes in the world, such as Sarto, Factor and 3T, alongside leading clothing and accessories brands such as Nimble shoes from Italy, PAS Normal Studios clothing, and Lupine Lights -probably the very best cycling lights in the world, on road and trail.</p>
<p>Yes, VELETAGE is an emporium of excellence. It’s the cycling equivalent of visiting the Lindt chocolate factory in Zurich, or a cat falling into a henhouse filled with chickens! VELETAGE is a feast of cycling delights from the global cycling industry, all waiting for you, with some great coffee on hand, too! All you need is to place yourself into the capable hands of Kurt and team, explore the offerings, maybe get the long-overdue bike fit and ride into a brighter cycling future!</p>

<p>Consider then, this: Vienna sits on the renowned and globally popular Euro Velo 6 route; it has cycling route options that include the Danube Cycle Path, the Vienna River Trail, and routes through the Prater and along the Danube Canal; and, it’s so close to the Alps and other European mountains, and you’ve got several great cycling reasons to take a trip. Add to this that VELETAGE is clearly one of the most formidable cycling stores in Europe, and you’ll soon be asking yourself why you haven’t visited Vienna for cycling already! Imagine, setting off on a week-long cycling adventure from Vienna to Nice, heading through the alpine passes that weave across the roof of Europe, before dropping you down to the sea and Nice, on the French Riveria.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can add some distance and ride the epic ‘Three Peaks cycle route’, taking on the three iconic passes of the Großglockner in Austria, the Col de Sanetsch in Switzerland and Mont Ventoux in France. If that doesn’t get your cycling heart fluttering, then you need to see a cardiac specialist!</p>
<p>Kurt is a fascinating person to spend time talking with and clearly has a passion for cycling and sharing a cycling lifestyle with others. The VELETAGE salon of cycling culture is a unique cycling store, not simply in Europe, but anywhere in the world; and it’s the type of place that ought to be on all cyclist’s bucket lists. After all, I quite like the sound of a custom built Sarto frame road bike… don’t you!</p>

<h3>Getting to grips with global chaos in 2025</h3>
<h6><em>by Robert, Kolja and Ben</em></h6>
<p>This year has been more difficult than ever for many people to find motivation, and it’s not really surprising. We currently live in a uncertain and chaotic world, coupled with the January inauguration of Donald Trump as US President, and of the extra and frankly unnecessary uncertainty that this has brought to the world and to the global cycling industry and the community of cyclists around the world. Let’s be absolutely clear, for to do otherwise is frankly ignorant; Donald Trump’s tariff wars have hit consumers hard, and will likely continue to do so into the near future. After all, many products are made in the Far East, a manufacturing base that creates some of the world’s best cycling products, for many of the leading brands.</p>
<p>Yes, if you ride a modern, high-end, high-performance bike, then there’s a very good chance that all or part of it will be made in Asia – a place that has been hit hardest by Trump’s utterly ridiculous and stupid tariff policy. Why stupid? It’s quite simple – consumers always bare the brunt of tariffs. The costs have to be added to the retail price. And so, yes; as we continue through spring, towards an eventful cycling summer, with the spring classic races now done and dusted, cycle consumers are already weary and tired – tired of the economic uncertainties that come with an idiotic administration, run by a 6 times bankrupt businessman. Not really the best CV for helping to guide a global economic strategy.</p>
<p>The resultant mental stresses are therefore obvious, as cyclists have been slow to come out of hibernation, not knowing how far their money will spread. Bikes and cycling products become a low priority when measured against increasingly high food prices, fuel and energy prices, reduced investments and savings, and seemingly no end in sight to the randomness of decision-making.</p>

<p>What does all of this have to do with cycling and with buying a bike, you may ask. It’s a reasonable question. However, when you unpick the layers of this debate, the current economic uncertainties and the US administration actions have everything to do with how we all feel as spring continues onwards. We are all now out of hibernation, and the sun is warming up, and short sleeved jerseys and bib shorts are becoming more common again on the roads and trails all over the world. Bikes are being cleaned and serviced and made ready, and new bikes are being dreamt of – and why not. Yes, even in… and especially so when in such times of uncertainty, we have to create a positive bubble around us, and to drive forward with a positive mindset.</p>
<p>We are each given 86400 seconds every day. That’s actually a lot of time… but, when it’s gone, we lose it forever. If we wake up healthy in the morning and are able to rise from our bed unaided, then it’s a good start to the day and we need to be positive. With wars taking place in Ukraine, in Gaza and elsewhere, if we wake up safe, then that’s another positive. And, if we and our families are in good health, then we should definitely be smiling. Six months ago, I underwent life-changing health issues myself. However, I’ve tried to stay focused and positive, and have adapted to a new way of living, and am now back out cycling myself – albeit with certain adaptations and necessary changes to things. Health is something that we take for granted, and yet it’s the most uncertain of all elements in life. If you can ride a bike, then do so and ride the fuck out of it and find adventures as often as you can, and spend those 86400 seconds that each day gives you!</p>

<p>With so much going on across the world, and so much to consider, it’s more important than ever to buy wisely. A new road bike, gravel bike or mountain bike is a big investment, and you need that reassurance that it will perform for you for a long time into the future. Quality counts and that should draw cycling consumers away from the more well-known brands, and cause cyclists to look deeper – to find those bike brands who focus their attention on innovation and engineering excellence. Brands such as ENVE and 3T spring to mind, with an adherence on creating some of the best bikes in the worlds, and unrivalled cycling components.</p>
<h4>3T bikes – borne in Italy</h4>
<p>3T have been creating some of the best cycling components and bikes since 1962, and are currently regarded by many as making the best gravel bikes in the world, from their base in the north of Italy, where skilled artisans create sleek and stylish, modern carbon frames using their own filament winding techniques to improve strength and the finish. Their carbon Torno crankset is a work of engineering art, and has that unique Italian touch of excellence, whilst creating performance on the bike to take you to the front of the peloton. With their manufacturing base now firmly back in Italy, 3T bikes will give you that high-performance, high-quality cycling feel on the roads and on the trails, wherever you ride.</p>
<p>Bikes such as their 3T Strada Italia are setting the standard, with a road specific performance platform that excels on long and fast challenges, regardless of the quality of the surface. Thanks to the quality of the design and the build, it will also take on paved and badly paved roads without batting an eye; and with 3T’s new performance geometry, you have the right fit to maximize road performance with a geometry designed to excel with 30-35mm tires, giving you a more comfortable ride into the future.</p>
<p>For adventure seekers too, the latest 3T Extrema Italia gravel bike is regarded as one of the toughest and best gravel bikes in the world. The Extrema Italia is designed for the harshest adventures and toughest races. IT’s designed as an aero focused gravel bike, yet is dropper/suspension seat-post compatible, and can fit up to 700x57c tires for the ultimate in off-road comfort.</p>

<p>Yes, there’s currently a chaotic feeling of uncertainty around the world and the global cycling scene. However, as I mentioned earlier, we all have to stay focused and to try to ride into a more positive future. I’m not advocating retail therapy as a solution. No, not at all. Rather, it’s simply time to accept that we need to pause and reflect on how we spend money on new bikes and new cycling products. We both want and need products that will last for longer, perform better and deliver more of what we need, over a longer timeframe. Brands such as 3T and ENVE are at the higher end of the cost spectrum… until you start to appreciate what they deliver and how long they will continue to deliver world-leading performance for.</p>
<p>We can sit at home, in front of the tv or searching the internet news and feel disheartened. Or, we can rise each day with a positive attitude, get those endorphins working and ride into a better, healthier and more fulfilled future. We made it through another year and another winter, and it’s time once more to ride. It’s time to dust off the cobwebs, to clean and service our bikes, and to start thinking about treating ourselves to some of the best bikes in the world. Life isn’t a dress rehearsal, and so let’s not allow an orange painted clown in Washington to direct our own individual pathway and positivity – it’s time to ride!</p>

<h3>A new cycling season and new writers at Pedalnorth!</h3>
<p>As the cycling season begins with the spring classics, we&#8217;ve watched as Demi and Tadej pick up the early season honours at Strade Bianchi. We&#8217;ve been busy indoors, or wrapping ourselves in Klimatik clothing from Alé and venturing out into winter on the roads and trails. Yes, we&#8217;ve attempted to stay fit and healthy and focused, and the new cycling season is underway!</p>
<p>Robert and Nadia are firmly embedded, jointly at the helm here at Pedalnorth; and we have some new faces for 2025, who&#8217;ll be writing about a whole spectrum of cycling lifestyle and kit issues, as they each bring something special to our website. Pedalnorth is renowned for covering so many aspects of cycle sport and cycling lifestyle, and our new writers add to this, each having a focus on different areas, and each ensuring that we remain as one of the world&#8217;s best independent cycling lifestyle website.</p>

<h3>A celebration of cycling and of life</h3>
<h5>Remembering Muriel Furrer</h5>
<p>Before we talk about anything concerning the 2024 Road Cycling World Championships and the surrounding cycling festival at Zurich, let us all pause and take a moment to reflect on the life and tragic loss of 18 years of age Swiss rider, Muriel Furrer. At such a young age, and with her whole life ahead of her, Muriel unfortunately crashed during the racing and subsequently lost her life. It is for all of us within the cycling world to pause and to say a prayer for Muriel; and, as we all ride into our own futures, to remember Muriel and all of those young riders so tragically lost in recent time.</p>
<p>Cycling and the World Championships is, and should be about celebrating our sport. It is an opportunity for all cycling fans to come together and to ride in unison, to enjoy a life on 2-wheels and see who rides to the front of the peloton as our champions. Muriel was undoubtably a young woman who would have graced cycling as a leader, and Zurich 2024 – in her home country, Switzerland, should be for her memory. We should all continue to ride, but to do so safely and to celebrate the freedom and adventure and challenges that cycling brings to us.</p>

It’s a whole sub-culture of like-minded people who exist in a closely knit global community, and Zurich 2024 allowed us all to come together and to celebrate cycling and celebrate life. Having been present in Zurich some months earlier this summer, it is a beautiful, cultured, historic and vibrant place. It is the perfect place to be a fan of life and living.</p>
<h3>3T Bikes – Zurich 2024</h3>
<p>3T bikes are one of those brands that form the beating heart of our global cycling community. This small brand, whose ethos is based on innovation and excellence, presented themselves and their latest bikes, during the cycling festival that preceded and accompanied the World Championship racing at Zurich. With events based at the partner retailer, Cycle Store Zurich, they and other leading brands hosted several events for the cycling public, mainly with Pas Normal Studios, performance cycle clothing – a like-minded brand, where quality counts. Cycle Store, Zurich is a great place for the best kit and equipment, and 3T were able to showcase the latest bikes, such as the Strada road bike and the Race Max Italia gravel bike.</p>

<p>On Tuesday, 24 September, alongside 3T and Paolo Bettini, Cycle Store Zurich organized three different social rides, to embrace all-comers and to widen participation: one gravel bike, one women’s road ride, and also one men’s road ride. The rides were planned by Phillip from Cycle Store Zurich, who also arranged the necessary guides to take people on the best routes.</p>
<p>Former Olympic and World Champion for Italy, Paolo, known as one of the strongest riders in history, joined the men’s &#8211; or better styled, the unisex &#8211; road ride, giving ordinary cyclists the opportunity to cycle with one of the all-time greats from our sport. The routes went up into the hills that surround Zurich and the beautiful Lake, before returning to the store, where Paolo spoke with as many people as possible and signed autographs.</p>

It was all rounded up with excellent Italian red wine, cheese – of course – and some grapes, to add the necessary fruit! What was evident during the event was how we are all simply cyclists when we gather together – whoever we are and whatever our abilities. We all simply love cycling; it’s just that Paolo is better than us all!</p>
<p>Dani, the owner of Cycle Store hosted everyone superbly in his popular and centrally located store, and we were able to share our love of cycling with Dani and his knowledgeable team, and to show the global cycling community how 3T continues to innovate and design some of the best high-performance cycles in the world, for riders at every level. Ultimately, it’s about celebrating life and adventure when we cycle, and seeking new challenges. Let’s remember this as we ride into the future; and let’s remember Muriel Furrer and the other young riders who have so tragically left us too soon – and let us continue to celebrate cycling in their memory, remembering that every day we cycle is a privilege.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[What is more emotional than Music and Outdoor Sports? The two go straight to our souls and also go perfect together. Christoph von Freydorf, lead-singer of the German Metal-Band, Emil Bulls, has put his two loves - music and bikes - together, and is riding to the Wacken Festival this summer, raising money to help young musicians starting out. ]]></description>

<p>What is more emotional than Music and Outdoor Sports? The two go straight to our souls and also go perfect together. When we ride, we feel the rhythms of life, and when we here music, our heart dances.</p>
<p>Sometimes you ride your bicycle and your favourite song just plays in your head while you&#8217;re in the middle of nature; and you breathe in that fresh air on an amazing gravel, MTB or road bike descent, and the world feels alive, as you hum that song and increase the pace. Yes, music and cycling together, it’s like the best drugs ever. Hey, it’s the only drugs we need – music and adventure in the mountains!</p>
<p>Christoph von Freydorf, lead-singer of the German Metal-Band, Emil Bulls, and my wife Nina Keetman-Strobel, who is a Guitar teacher and musician as well &#8211; know each other now since almost 20 years and always had a positive and respectful friendship. They share that love for music, life and free-thinking, and it’s developed into a great friendship.</p>

<p>I met Christoph the first time in 2018, on one of the Emil Bulls gigs; and we&#8217;ve had a lot of amazing conversations and great times together since then. Ultimately, we both love cycling, a great glass of wine, snowboarding and music – Now, that’s definitely a great combination, let me tell you! Over the past years Christoph&#8217;s passion for Gravel cycling got more and more intense, and I followed his posts on Instagram when he was traveling with his bike to the next gig, from Munich to Dresden or Vienna. It was awesome to see this guy, bringing these aspects of his life into balance and living in a way that suited him and not society. In truth, I guess that’s what gravel biking is all about – the adventurer in us, escaping to a different place, replenishing our soul on each and every ride!</p>
<h3>The wacky plan for a Wacken ride!</h3>
<p>A few months ago, Christoph and I had been talking after one of his gigs; and he told me about his plan about &#8220;The ride to Wacken&#8221;. For those who don&#8217;t know the Wacken Open Air Festival – it’s the biggest Metal Festival and one of the biggest Rock and Metal Festivals worldwide, with around 90.000 sold tickets, and a lineup of more than 145 bands, such as Amon Amarth, Scorpions, KoRn, Alligathoa, Architects, Behemoth, Flogging Molly and the EMIL BULLS. It’s a truly epic festival, and one that is on every rock fans list of must-go-to events.</p>

<p>Thinking about my own career and roles, at the time I knew could help support him with some kit for the ride: bicycle helmets, sunglasses and maybe some parts around it. However, then in February with all our changes of brands and a new setup on our end, everything changed suddenly and I started to organize options for Christop&#8217;s Ride to Wacken. Working with many of the world’s leading cycling industry brands in terms of quality and performance, such as 3T, Bivo, Spektrum Sports and Lake Cycling, I was able to arrange for them all to support Christoph&#8217;s journey. And, at Eurobike Christoph and I also managed to get SQLab and Tatze as supporters too; with SQ Lab ensuring that Christoph will be sitting comfortably all the way!</p>
<p>Christoph has had Evoc Sports in the loop already for the Gravel bags, and just a few days ago SRAM made contact in social media with him. With that amazing lineup of supporters Christoph is now going into the final weeks of training on a 3T Racemax Italia Bianco 54cm,fitted with Sram Rival AXS 2&#215;12, which he named Fuchur. He will be starting his epic final Ride to Wacken on the 23rd or 24th of July – so quite soon. The Ride to Wacken is a charity ride for the Wacken Foundation, which is supporting newcomers, young band projects, and bands who need support for their tours, CD -productions and more &#8211;&gt;</p>

<p>The Wacken Foundation also organizes the Wacken Camp which is a &#8220;Metal Camp&#8221; for youth bands. Everyone who wants to support Metal and Hard Rock Music can donate to the Wacken Foundation directly via this link:</p>
<p>https://www.wacken-foundation.com/unterstuetzen-spenden</p>
<p>Christoph is an enthusiast in cycling and music, and he’s a perfectionist and just loves what he does. That fits perfectly with our brands, such as 3T, Lake, Evoc, SQ Lab and others; all of whom operate at the highest level of performance. With his support for the Wacken Foundation he will also give new bands and young people the chance to live their passion for music. He also shows how deeply outdoor sports and music are connected to each other.</p>
<p>Join Christoph and enjoy Christoph&#8217;s Ride to Wacken, and follow him and the Wacken Festival on social media. Music is the food for life, and gravel biking adds life to each and every day spent on 2-wheels – music to my ears!</p>
