Cyclists to Race for Cash Prizes

Spring has finally arrived, and to celebrate the greening of Berlin there will be a bicycle race through the streets of the city on Saturday, May28, 1929. A purse of 950 Reichslindens will be divided among the first three riders to cross the finish line. No registration is required, and competitors are asked to simply show up ready to race in front of the Hotel Adlon by 1:00pm SLT. The race is open to both men and women.

In order to assure a safe and fair competition, all riders will be required to use the 1885 Safety Bicycle only. This vehicle can be worn so no rezzing is required, meaning that the competition is open to residents and non-residents alike. The model 1885 Safety Bicycle can be purchased from the vendor located immediately outside the Bahnhoff Alexanderplatz. Arrangements have been made for the public to view the race from a grandstand to be erected in front of the Brandenberg Tor.
