Welcome to Mannheim

and welcome to the Internet pages of ADFC Mannheim !

The ADFC is the Allgemeiner Deutscher Fahrrad-Club (General German Cyclists Club), a member organisation of European Cyclist Federation ECF. (It has similar aims to the British Cyclists’ Touring Club (CTC) and the League of American Bicyclists.) These pages are a service provided by the ADFC section Mannheim. The information in this Internet presence represents the state of affairs at the time of writing and is maybe out of date today. Although the club has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information in this internet site, it cannot guarantee its correctness or assume any liability arising from its use.

This summary page cannot display translations of all the internet pages maintained by the ADFC Mannheim section. 

In case you have a question regarding cycling in the Mannheim area which is not answered here, please do not hesitate to send an eMail to mannheim"bei"adfc-bw.de (replace "bei" with @). You also may find the answer to your question about cycling in Germany checking the homepage of Bergstrasse Bike Books, maintained by the Forsyths, living in the neighbour town Viernheim.    

Please be aware, we are a nonprofit, no budget volunteer group working in our free time and cannot guarantee an immediate response. Therefore, do yourself and us a favour and ask in a timely manner.

If you wish to join us either on our day tours or other activities, membership of the club is not limited to German citizens in spite of its name. However you do not have to be a member to join our day tours though you will be asked as a non-member to make a small financial contribution. Contact us by eMail for details of our tours.

Online dictionaries or translation apps may help you to pick out some of the detail in the rest of the website (http://dict.leo.org/, http://babelfish.yahoo.com/), although some sections are in English and German. See below.

Interested in bicycle history? Placed on a separate internet-page, there is a short biography available already in more than 20 languages presenting Karl Drais, who invented back in 1817 in Mannheim the first two wheeled human powered vehicle. Any additional translation (provided free of charge) is highly welcome!   

Enjoy your stay in Mannheim!
 

Cyclist Maps

We do present some cyclist maps of the Metropolregion Rhine/Neckar in German language.

In more detail, we provide an English presentation of the citizen map of Mannheim "Bürgerstadtplan" bearing many information about local cycling, published in fourth edition in spring 2013.

Bicycle in local public transport

(Status: January, 1th. 2015, without liability)

First of all: this service is available only, if there is enough space to place the bicycle(s) in the vehicle. In rush-hours or over-crowded Sunday afternoon trains the railway officers may refuse you to embark. In any case: disabled persons and children-push-cars have priority. 

Carry on your bicycle in the local trains of German Rail (Deutsche Bahn = DB) IRE, RB- und S-trains, eurobahn und all trains operated by SWEG: 
free-of-charge for the bicycle: Monday - Friday after 9.00 a.m. and all day Saturday, Sunday and bank holiday

Do not confuse them with long-distance trains (ICE and IC), even if the next stop is Heidelberg. If in doubt, ask at the station!

Tramway and City busses of muncipal carrier RNV (= MVG, OEG, RHB, VBL, HSB):
 
Free for charge: Monday-Friday after 9 a.m. and all day Saturday, Sunday and bank holiday.  This service we recommend to use only in case of broken bicycles, as the available space is very limited.

River Rhine/ River Neckar: Scheduled Ferries

Mannheim is on both the River Rhine and River Neckar. It does offer some short boat trips, at least crossing rivers by boat in addition to the bridges. Boats are not on duty 24/7, and we therefore provided some information about schedules and fares of local ferries.  

No need to say, we could not take any responsibility all information being provided to be free of typos and even up-to-date. Especially we could not report about unforeseeable events such as engine break-down or other cancellation of services.
