The free service, which does not require registration, takes place on several dates: on Friday, October 10th, at Mangfallplatz in Untergiesing-Harlaching, followed by an appointment on Monday, October 20th, at the Grüner Markt in Berg am Laim and another on Thursday, October 30th, at Laimer Anger.

Road safety is the focus
The aim of this initiative is to increase the roadworthiness of bicycles and increase the enjoyment of riding while increasing awareness of the importance of safe bicycles. VKS emphasizes that, above all, the visibility of bicycles as an environmentally friendly means of transport should be promoted. The free bike checks are not only an excellent opportunity for everyday cyclists, but also offer an opportunity to raise awareness of the technical condition of their two-wheelers.
The checks have been an integral part of the city's mobility offensive in Munich since 2008. Particularly noteworthy is the collaboration with TÜV Süd, which has developed a test form for the bike checks. This ensures an objective and neutral assessment. The TZ reports that most bicycles only need a few adjustments to be safe on the road again. Major defects are documented, which makes it easier for cyclists to proceed.
For all those who value safety and a good driving experience, the bike checks are an excellent opportunity to take care of their vehicle. Take the opportunity to get your bike ready for autumn rides!
