Even if you hop on two wheels, you can still help a good thing. More and more cycling events are launched every year in order to raise money for charity or increase awareness of problems of those who need our assistance. Your part of the game is to join the ride and support the less privileged with the admission fee. Actually, it\u2019s not easy to find more information in various countries, as most of the events are organised by local volunteers who make the website only in their native language. The following five events should mainly serve as an inspiration. We suggest typing \u201ccycling and charity\u201d in the browser in your language, be it Polish, French, or Portugal. Let\u2019s go and help the less happy people with our cycling.<\/strong>

A family atmosphere, visits to breweries and local exhibitions, this is what a ride in Bavaria is all about. Instead of competitive cycling, expect socializing with neighbours during a comfortable and friendly ride. There are several guided and individual rides over the year, all of them launched by the local Bavarian organisation named Strampeln in Franken (Cycling in Franconia). There\u2019s still a chance to enjoy the ride which sets off on September 3 from Neustadt a. d. Aisch and Dietersheim.<\/p>\n
