A look at the story

The connection between cycling and peaceful ideals is not new. The "peace trip", which took place from 1948 to 1989, was an important stage race for radamateurs and is often referred to as the "Tour de France des East". This event, which captivated millions of spectators over the years, aimed to promote peace and unity through sporting achievements. The idea came up in 1947 by journalists and quickly became a symbol of peaceful coexistence in Europe. According to friedensfahrt-info.de , the event was dominated by "state amateurs" and many stories of the time are closely connected to it.

This day today, events such as the Bike-the-Line tour are essential to keep the legacy of this story alive. The tour will come up with numerous stops at monuments and historical places, in which a total of 80 "Points of Interest" are documented, which is not only for cyclists, but also for the audience and the community.

The tour is financed by sponsorship and crowdfunding; An amount of 2000 euros is required to implement a documentary about the tour. Interested participants can register via the Wismar University of Applied Sciences and the website biketheline.de and become part of this special project.

summarized the significant connection between cycling, social commitment and historical appreciation in this region is a great example of how community actions can not only promote physical activity, but also the goal of peace and support for social projects.
