Vienna

Where is the boss? Pez and Sophie are sometimes asked this question. However, the two women are their own bosses when they are tinkering on bicycles. The bicycle shop Das Radhaus in Vienna is organised as a collective consisting of a team of seven people. Three of them are women, which is no coincidence.

For many cycling enthusiasts, the ARGUS Bike Festival at Vienna’s Rathausplatz signals the start of spring. On April 11 and 12 April, Austria’s largest public bike fair will present a varied programme with something for every bike fan.

Doris and Peter live in Vienna. They enjoy living here and like the city. The only thing that the two all-weather cycling enthusiasts are not so keen on is the traffic. Accordingly, they are regular participants in the Critical Mass, a monthly “cycle demonstration”. In Vienna alone, up to 1,000 people take part in this group ride on the third Friday of every month. The route of this ride is different each time, but one thing always remains the same – the desire to raise awareness for environmentally friendly mobility and to make a political statement. Doris also cares about this.
