What could be better than starting a day at Eurobike with French croissants and Italian coffee? Quite a few things! For example, meeting the who’s who of the bike industry in a casual setting. Sounds good? Sure, but it gets even better – at least for Sandra and Heiko from Riese & Müller, who also received the DOWNTOWN Magazine award for the best cargo bike of 2024. Oh yes, we also had the Mona Lisa at our stand – but we decided to keep that one for ourselves 😉

Enjoy the impressions – and if you’re at the Eurobike on the visitor days: come by! We are in Hall 12, Stand B03. It’s worth it, we promise! The code word for the best coffee at the fair (at our stand) is: I love DOWNTOWN.
See you there!

All product reviews are created transparently and based on clear, real-world criteria.
