Secure Cycling through Erlangen: The BIG Course for Women Starts

The BIG: Cycling Course for Women combines movement, self-confidence, and mobility.

Learning in Small Steps, with Calmness and Structure

The course emphasizes a low entry barrier, clear guidance, and an atmosphere where progress is more important than speed. The official ADFC notice describes nine afternoons from May 9th to May 27th, each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3 PM to 5 PM at the roller rink near the Blue Mosque. Registration is required for participation; payment is made at the Office for Sports and Health Promotion. ([erlangen.adfc.de](https://erlangen.adfc.de/neuigkeit/fahrradfahren-lernkurs-fuer-frauen))

This is exactly what makes this event series appealing: small groups, personal support, and a setting aimed at practicality. The BIG approach has been working for years with low-threshold exercise offers for women in difficult life situations and has been scientifically documented and transferred to other municipalities.
