- Drink enough: 0.5-1 litre of water with electrolytes per hour, water immediately after getting up, sodium-rich water plus juice after exercise.  
- Get your body used to the heat, wear light summer jerseys without a vest, use sun protection with SPF ≥30, arm warmers and sunglasses.  
- Eat carbohydrate-rich and salty snacks in the heat; warning signs such as nausea, dizziness, fever or loss of consciousness require a break or help.

Road cycling in midsummer: the most important tips in the heat

- Severe undersupply during road cycling leads to heavy legs, an empty head and a "grey haze" and can be dangerous.  
- Quick help is provided by sugar-rich foods from the supermarket or bakery such as biscuits, cola, juice spritzers, bananas, muesli bars or squeeze bags.  
- Alternatively, the petrol station can provide sugar, salt and fluids; an early stop with a short break helps you to cope with the last few kilometres.

Completely grey: What really helps when nothing works?

- Careful bike fitting with movement analysis, cleat and saddle adjustment ensures an optimum riding position on the Specialized Aethos 2 Pro.  
- The Aethos 2 Pro is a very light, comfortable road bike with good damping and up to 35 mm tyre clearance, suitable for long Alpine stages.  
- A potential weak point is the mountain-compatible gear ratio; wider tyres for changeable asphalt are also being considered as a sensible adaptation.

- Narrow country lanes, large machines and limited visibility require cyclists to ride defensively, brake early and stop if necessary.  
- For technical and legal reasons, heavy and wide agricultural machinery is often unable to take evasive action; priority is given to agricultural use.  
- Calm communication, a change of perspective and the willingness to take a back seat as a cyclist prevent escalations and increase safety.

Bicycle vs. tractor: Consideration on country lanes - what cyclists should know

- Gravel bikers unnoticed endanger numerous protected or useful animals that use paths and trails as habitats or migration routes.
- Particularly affected are slow-reacting or sun-loving species such as grass snakes, shrews, alpine newts, grass frogs and sand lizards.
- Many of these animals live to a very old age and are ecologically important, but their lives often end under bicycle tyres on popular nature trails.

Trail deaths while gravel biking: Natural history of the guilty conscience

- Several endangered species such as fire salamanders, stag beetles, slow worms, adders, tiger slugs and common toads use paths and trails as habitats.  
- Their slowness, camouflage and basking spots on paths make them particularly susceptible to fatal collisions with gravel and mountain bikes.  
- Many of these animals can live for decades, but tyres, contact and habitat loss drastically shorten their lives.

- Gravel biking brings conflicts of conscience: earthworms are saved, while invisible animals can be run over on trails.  
- High speed, flow and euphoria are at odds with consideration for slow animals such as slow worms and amphibians.  
- The sight of a run-over fire salamander reinforces thoughts about moral responsibility and an inner "karma account".

Collateral damage when gravel biking: Manslaughter on the trail

- The ADFC is organising more rallies than ever before in 13 cities from May to September 2026 under the motto: "The future is cycling."
- They are calling for continuous, protected cycle paths, safe intersections and a redistribution of road space in favour of cycling.
- Highlights include the 50th Berlin rally on 7 June and the final rally in Bremen on 6 September; all dates and routes can be found at adfc.de/sternfahrten.

- There are 340 (2023) and 289 (2024) alcohol-related accidents on Ascension Day, around three times as many as on normal days.
- On this day, men in particular are often drunk and travelling with handcarts, carriages or bicycles, which increases the risk of accidents.
- The German road safety organisation Deutsche Verkehrswacht is calling for a new alcohol limit of 1.1 per mille for bicycles/pedelecs instead of the previous 1.6 per mille (criminal offence limit).

- From 17 May 2026, MyWhoosh is introducing IDTM, an anti-doping programme for virtual cycling races in accordance with the WADA Prohibited List.
- Checks are carried out by remote notification, with up to three hours of availability and urine, blood or dried blood samples.
- The selection of riders is based on randomness, podium places and performance data, among other things; offences lead to disqualification, money reclaim and a ban.

- When pedalling, the quadriceps and gluteus perform the main work in the push phase, while the hip flexors and shin muscles take over the pull phase.
- Performance depends on neurological control, fibre types, VO2max, cardiovascular system and capillary density in the muscles.
- Aerobic metabolism, early carbohydrate intake, fat burning and electrolyte equalisation during prolonged exercise are central to endurance performance.
