I will be moving to Frankfurt in July and would like to hook up with fellow cyclists (both road and mountain.) Does anyone know of any established groups in the area? Alternatively if you are keen to start a group please can you let me know.

I do not know of any groups in Frankfurt however my boyfriend and I will be no doubt interested in one...

There is some sort of group in Darmstadt attached to ESA I believe.

Im in mannheim and new to cycling. Mannheim too far for Frankfurt groups, eh?

I wouldn't say so that is up to you to decide Only a short train ride

yeah...wish i knew how those things worked. have yet to use a train. im from Texas. We all have cars. they're issued at birth.

Depends how energetic you/we are!

Hi im also from Texas and new to mannheim. I am looking for someone to ride with as well. Holler back at me if you are still interested in a bike buddy. you can email me also at dshorthorns@yahoo.com

I suggest you go to the BDR site and look over the list of local German teams. I have been a member of the local Aschaffenburger team for 25 years and we have a lot of fun. The training is top notch, and we go to the TDF every year to ride (there right now ). The BDR is the governing body for all cycling team/clubs in Germany, and it keeps track of all your rides and your KM's/points for the year. At the end of the year you and your club gets a medal. Any questions??? Just PM me.

Hi, I am very interested in hooking up for a ride particularly after work or weekends--Either mountain biking or road.The Taunus are close, s-bahn accessible and great not-too-technical trails (at least those I have done). I am not hard-core but used to ride a fair amount in Seattle before moving here.

Access to trails here is pretty spectacular.
Other than training teams, I know there are club rides through the ADFC a few times a week but I have never done them www.adfc-hessen.de . They also have excellent maps for sale. I would consider going on one of these to get the lay of the land, but have been intimidated due to language factor. They seem to vary in distance, and sometimes you have to be a member, other times just pay a small fee.

Please contact me if you want to set something up.

Ok well I am still interested in setting something up. Only problem at the moment is my boyfriend has torn a ligament in his shoulder whilst mountain biking in France leaving him out of action at the moment. So I cannot make this weekend but maybe in a few weeks time?
