Unsichtbares erFAHRbar machen

Auf bunten Abwegen – Social ride

We invite you to join us for an accessible and social sporting activity where we actively discover Darmstadt from new perspectives. By bike, we set out in search of subculture and queer life in Darmstadt.

Where in Darmstadt does culture take place that is organised by the people themselves? Not driven by major commercial motives, but rather by the need and necessity to take matters into their own hands, as these things would otherwise not happen in our city. We also encounter this need for organisation and the self-assured advocacy of one’s own interests in the queer scene; we’ll take a look at some exemplary venues in Darmstadt that exemplify this. And to do full justice to the tour’s name, we’ll also take a look at the graffiti culture in our city.

Covering 7 km with an elevation gain of around 30 metres, this social ride isn’t primarily aimed at your fitness level or kit, but rather at a spirit of discovery and the shared joy of cycling. Please bring a helmet. If your bike has any technical issues, get in touch and pop along to our weekly hands-on workshop.

• We’d be delighted if you could register here briefly.
• We’ll be cycling mainly on tarmac, though there may be a few short sections of gravel.

Auf bunten Abwegen – social ride is the last of three guided cycle tours. On these tours, we invite you to discover Darmstadt’s hidden spots, projects and perspectives.

• Stop 1: Glasi & Sumpf
• Stop 2: Street Art Gallery
• Stop 3: Jukuz Oetinger Villa & Queer Centre
• Stop 4: Former Louisetta

We look forward to seeing you!

!Please note: The tour will mostly be in German
