    Erste Fahrt mit dem Hochzeitsrad am 19.08.2022

    The wedding bike is not quite finished yet. For example, the paintwork, a canopy and holders for champagne glasses are still missing. I had to take some time off due to illness and also because I am dependent on donations for the construction of the bicycle, the completion is delayed. But I am not under any time pressure. I'm completing the bike bit by bit.

    Although I still have to finish the bike, it's not finished yet.

    Although there are still a few things to be done, the wedding bike is already serving its purpose. On Friday 19.08.2022, I was allowed to ride Änne and David Hergert around the city in a large bicycle parade, including the wedding party, from the castle garden to celebrate the newly married couple. I'm incredibly happy that the bicycle has finally been put to use!

    The Wednesday before, I did another 30-kilometre test ride to make sure everything would work out.

    I have installed two electric motors that turn the bike into an e-bike. Two large, golden lacquered steel rings symbolise the wedding rings. The bridal couple climbs through the rings and takes a seat on the bench and the packed suitcase.

    The bike is a real e-bike.

    When the bike is completely finished, it will hopefully bring joy to many more people.

    In the context of the " Hallo Fahrrad" event, the Oldenburgers were presented with their wedding bike.

    Verlobung mit der Fahrbahn am 19.03.2022

    The lane agreed to the proposal of engagement, the rings, er rims were exchanged and mutually pinned on after the YES word.

    Oldenburger Hochzeitsfahrrad

    Because Oldenburg calls itself and is a bicycle city. Therefore, a wedding bike is needed. Cycling is in fact typical for this beautiful city.

    A white tricycle with electric support and chauffeur, a historic bench for the bridal couple and of course a canopy.

    Two umbrellas should and will not be missing. And of course with champagne cooler, glasses, flower vases, music and video camera on board.

    A real and stylish wedding bike with all the trimmings for all Oldenburg residents.

    The idea: Oldenburgers give all Oldenburgers the wedding bike with a donation. With little, many can do a lot for everyone.

    Approx. Construction will cost €10,000. If 5000 Oldenburg residents donate €2 or more, I can build the bike.

    If more donations arrive and there is money in the special account set up by Raiffeisenbank Oldenburg, the rental of the Oldenburg wedding bike and the chauffeur will be free of charge. An Oldenburg bicycle instead of a car will then be in front of the registry office. This is befitting of this city.

    On April 3rd this year, I would like to hand over the wedding bike to the people of Oldenburg on the Schlossplatz for the "Hallo Fahrrad" event.

    Any donation is welcome.

    Unfortunately, two small errors crept into the NWZ article: The tricycle is a tricycle that was formerly used as a cargo bike and not around a postal delivery bike. Furthermore, the donations are acquired via private crowdfunding and not via the crowdfunding platform of the Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken with the "Stiftung Kulturtetage e. V." as a partner.
