CYCLINGWORLD EUROPE - URBAN HUB 2026
IN THE MIDDLE OF DÜSSELDORF CITY CENTER
In 2026, CYCLINGWORLD EUROPE will no longer only take place in the Areal Böhler, but also on Gustaf-Gründgens-Platz, directly between the KÖ BOGEN II, KÖ BOGEN I & the Dreischeibenhaus. CYCLINGWORLD EUROPE between impressive & historic Düsseldorf architecture.
CYCLINGWORLD EUROPE IN THE CITY CENTER OF DÜSSELDORF
With the new CYCLINGWORLD EUROPE Urban Hub, Europe’s exhibition for the finest bike culture is coming to the heart of Düsseldorf’s city center for the first time!
From 20 to 22 March 2026, not only the AREAL BÖHLER will become the meeting place for the international bike scene, but Gustaf-Gründgens-Platz will also be transformed into a lively center for all things bike and e-bike on this weekend.
Right in the heart of the city, between the Schauspielhaus and Kö-Bogen II, visitors can expect an exciting supporting program with exhibition stands, activities, testing opportunities and entertainment. Whether e-bike, urban mobility, design or lifestyle, the Urban Hub shows how diverse and modern bicycle culture is today.
This is where bike fans, brands, dealers and city dwellers alike come together – to experience, test and discover. If you fancy a test ride in an urban environment, want to get to know new products or simply immerse yourself in the atmosphere of CYCLINGWORLD EUROPE, this is the place to be.
With the Urban Hub, CYCLINGWORLD EUROPE brings what makes it special – innovation, design, passion and community – directly to where the people are: In the city.
A meeting place for everyone who wants to live and experience urban mobility.
TEST TRACK IN THE COURTYARD GARDEN
Directly adjacent to the CYCLINGWORLD EUROPE Urban Hub, a special test track is being created in the Hofgarten – surrounded by greenery and yet in the heart of the city.
Here, visitors can try out a wide variety of bikes and e-bikes in a quiet, safe and natural environment and experience how each bike feels under real conditions.
The route leads through one of the most beautiful park areas in Düsseldorf and thus offers the ideal setting for relaxed riding fun, first test rides and intensive bike experiences. Whether city bike, e-commuter, urban gravel or children’s bike – the aim here is to test, compare and find the right bike, without any hassle.
The test track is free of charge and accessible to all age groups.
Helmets and safety instructions are provided on site to ensure that every ride is safe and carefree.
