Heroes of the Ruhr Valley cycle path: Cycling experts

Broken down bike? Broken tire? Forgotten important equipment? This also happens to one or two cyclists on the Ruhr Valley cycle path during the tour. So it's all the better that help is always quickly in sight. Because the Ruhr Valley Cycle Route also has a well-developed network of bicycle specialists along the way. The service partners are happy to provide support before setting off on a tour and are also on hand with help and advice along the way. Just like the experts from Zweirad Wierleuker in Arnsberg. Together, the two have now been service partners on the river cycle path from Winterberg to Duisburg for 20 years.

At Zweirad Wierleuker, cyclists are always welcome with their concerns - whether before, during or after the tour.

Twenty years ago, at the opening of the Ruhr Valley cycle path, the owners of Zweirad Wierleuker heard about the plans for a new cycle path right on their doorstep and they didn't hesitate for long to get involved. Since then, they have been listed as a service partner on the website and in the print products of the Ruhr Valley Cycle Route and are therefore a fixed component in the planning of cycle travelers. In addition to restaurants and accommodation along the route, businesses in the bicycle service sector also play an important role.

There are many stories about the cycle path and Zweirad Wierleuker: Flat tire, squeaky chain, missing rain jacket - it often happens that cyclists pass by the large store along the cycle path during their tour. Especially when cyclists want to continue quickly in order to reach the day's stage finish, things have to happen fast. The team is prepared for this. In addition to quickly carrying out necessary repairs or advising on the purchase of equipment, a few words of comfort are often needed. After all, anyone who has had a breakdown on a planned tour quickly becomes restless. Quick help is usually not a problem and is gladly provided. In addition to these services, a large number of bikes are also available for hire - of interest to anyone who still needs a bike for their next tour.

The staff at Zweirad Wierleuker are experts in all aspects of cycling - including on the Ruhr Valley Cycle Path.

Incidentally, the two owners have not yet cycled the entire RuhrtalRadweg, but they know the routes around Arnsberg well. At weekends, they like to use the cycle path for a tour with a short stop along the way. However, the entire cycle path is still on their list - until then, they enjoy the cyclists' stories and the fact that they can be part of the many cyclists.
