revamped Rheydt initiative encompasses instruction on bicycle riding with SKM participation
Mönchengladbach, Germany - A new cycling course for adults, named "Rheydt inklusiv," is set to begin on Tuesday, September 2, 2025. The sessions will take place bi-weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays, from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM, at the Waisenhausgrundschule grounds[1].
The "Rheydt inclusive" project, carried by the city of Mönchengladbach and PariTeam gGmbH, aims to make inclusion tangible in everyday life[7]. This adult cycling course is part of this initiative.
For those who are new to cycling, fear not! The course will be held in traffic-calmed areas, ensuring a safe learning environment for all participants[1]. Many individuals who participated in the previous course were riding a bike for the first time[3].
New trainers will be prepared in a training session and will lead the courses in pairs[5]. One participant from the previous course shared her experience, stating, "I was so afraid and never thought I could learn to ride a bike. So much patience was shown towards me that I can't believe it - and I'm really proud of myself."[6]
The course will consist of ten to twelve sessions[8]. Registration for the course begins on Tuesday, August 5[9]. Interested volunteers can potentially get involved by contacting organizations such as SKN Mönchengladbach or Reit Inklusiv, which support the course[4].
For exact registration procedures and volunteering, contacting the local education office or the organizations involved is recommended[1][4].
It's worth noting that while not specific to Mönchengladbach, ADAC offers Pedelec (electric bicycle) training courses in NRW, which could be relevant for adults interested in cycling skills enhancement[2]. These courses require prior registration by phone or email.
The "Rheydt inclusive" project is funded by Aktion Mensch and MAGS NRW[10]. For further course information, contacting the Mönchengladbach education or sports department through their official website or phone contacts would be advisable.
