Public Challenges

Don't just watch - take part! Experience action, master challenges, shine and win.

A new highlight of Cycle Week 2026: The short-track spectacle FAST & CURIOUS transforms the Lagerstrasse, which is partially closed during Cycle Week, into a 150-meter-long race and play zone. The open Cycle Week Playground will thrill spectators with exciting knockout formats on cargo bikes, folding bikes and unusual special bikes as well as the spectacular Bicycle Catwalk. The focus is on variety, action and fun - more game than stopwatch. Visitors can also compete in explosive sprint duels at the Emmi ENERGY MILK roller sprint on Europaplatz.

150 meters of asphalt. Endless attitude. The jury doesn't measure the time. It measures courage.
Wanted: 30 teams (1-3 people) who show that cycling can be more than just going fast in a straight line!
