As part of the preparations for the 28th International kids-tour, TÜV Rheinland is offering support. Several thousand euros have already been received in response to our appeal for donations. The gap is getting smaller. Every contribution counts. Cycling events always affect public life in some way. Partnership and empathy are important prerequisites for reconciling everything. Here is an example. Orga- support Jana Otto is responsible for the training centre and a social pedagogue at the TÜV Rheinland Academy in Lehnitz. Together with colleague Dana Przybille, they stand for training, coaching and that for all life situations. Adolescents and children are very close to both of their hearts, especially when it comes to hard cycling. Organiser Michael Lemke met both ladies during his preparation for the first stage in Lehnitz. Dana Przybille and Jana Otto immediately agreed to help. Unlike in previous years, the TÜV will make parts of its area available. With a long-term plan for 2023, further areas can be used by the kids-tour. The space is provided free of charge, we say thank you for this gesture, which is not taken for granted. Financial support We received many enquiries about the financial situation. The Landessportbund Berlin and the Berlin Cycling Federation refuse to support us. We are all the more pleased about the small and large donations we have received. For those who are still able and willing, here are the details once again Paypal. Recipient: sina.paeske@kids-tour-berlin.de Subject: kids-tour 2022. We are looking forward to seeing you!

Preparations for the 28th International kids-tour are in full swing. Your financial help is very welcome. Notes on the regulations. Thanks for the many encouragement Financial support Due to the imponderables, we had to do without the prepared crowd-funding this year. The previous donors and small sponsors were therefore not contacted either. Unlike in previous years, there is also no public funding from the Landessportbund Berlin. Sad but true, this also prompted the Berlin Cycling Federation | Berliner Radsportverband. At the moment, Wheel Divas e.V. and its sponsors, among others Zweirad- Center Stadler Berlin as well as the Päske family and I, are running the kids-tour completely on our own. Despite all our efforts, there is still a shortfall. In short - if you want to support us not only morally in these turbulent times, you can make a financial contribution and donate to the kids-tour. This can easily be done via Paypal. Recipient: sina.paeske@kids-tour-berlin.de Subject: kids-tour 2022. Preparations and this and that 7 days before the start of the 28th international kids-tour, the organisation team gives everything once again. It is checked, changed, modified and organised. As always in life: when you think there are 3 possibilities, there is a fourth or fifth: our race doctor is now in hospital himself. We wish him a speedy recovery! In addition, the Berlin Cycling Federation has "forgotten" our commissioners. We also solve this challenge for the kids. Who has suggestions for commissaire a doctor please send them to me. The cups, ribbons and jerseys from Redvil Sport, which are so important for the kids, are on their way to the organising team. Many thanks to all our partners, suppliers, service providers and manufacturers. Just like the teams, they are at the ready. A lot had to be organised and procured at short notice. Among other things, the ordered prizes and awards had to be produced within a week. In the last few days, I had many appointments on site. Our routes in Lehnitz, Willmersdorf and the Willmersdorf industrial estate have been inspected and discussed with the police. Everyone is very satisfied with the work of the organising team. Announcement per race and starting lists Due to the requests, here is an overview based on the sporting regulations: In the U13 races, mixed teams of female and male riders are allowed. In the U15 there are separate races for male and female with separate teams. Starter lists and teams are now filling up with concrete names. If you still want to participate, please send your entry directly to me. The participant lists will be sent directly to our timekeeper Herzog-Sport. So not only are the start and result lists quickly online, for the first time we are also offering live timing of the kids. Encouragement and courage Thank you very much for all the mail, comments and phone calls. It makes us proud to have done the right thing. It gives us courage to continue despite all the adversities.

BDR and BRV fought bitterly against the kids-tour. Finally, the BDR deleted the tour from the official rad-net register. The organiser Wheel Divas and the organising team took the kids to court. They won against BDR and BRV. The 28th International kids-tour is now officially announced. And it will take place. The head of the organisation, MIchael Lemke, puts the kids-tour out to tender again. Just like all the years before. The Berlin cycling federation now had to approve it according to a court decision. As a result, the announcement is published today by the official organ of the Federation of German Cyclists rad-net . This was preceded by a weeks-long dispute between the organising team and the German Cycling Federation Bund Deutscher Radfahrer and the Berlin Cycling Association Berliner Radsportverband. Both were determined to prevent the traditional kids-tour event at all costs. The Frankfurt Main Regional Court put an end to the activities of the "lobbyists" of cycling. It ruled in favour of the plaintiffs Wheel Divas, the kids-tour and the children and thus against our "lobbyists". Wheel Divas Cycling Team Wheel Devils Cycling Team Bund Deutscher Radfahrer e.V. Senatskanzlei Berlin Landessportbund Berlin e. V. rad-net Fairness first.

The kids-tour takes place. It can take place because BDR and BRV lose in court. Today, the Frankfurt/Main Regional Court ruled in favour of the children and the original kids-tour. The organising team is allowed to use the name kids-tour. The presidents Rudolf Scharping | BDR and Claudiu Ciureo | BRV have to give up their resistance. It was with relief and joy that the organising team, Wheel Divas, received the call from lawyer Roland Gall | Schick und Schaudt Rechtsanwälte PartG mbB Stuttgart today. For all opponents of the kids-tour it is a pitch black day. And in this respect it is a victory for the children, our offspring, reason, decency and the law. It is a good day for the children and all active participants as well as for the more than 40 teams that have registered in the meantime. Attorney Gall is a specialist in sports law. He had advocated a lawsuit because the BDR and the BRV were not prepared to see eye to eye despite the breach of the law. Gall convinced the Regional Court Frankfurt/Main | Chamber for Commercial Matters in the preliminary injunction with only a few arguments that the Berlin Cycling Federation and Bund Deutscher Radfahrer have to give up their resistance. They have to register the kids-tour in the official register rad-net. Furthermore, the orga-team is expressly allowed to use the name kids-tour. This was preceded by weeks of long and fruitless talks, a lot of communication between all parties involved and a high degree of stalling tactics. Among those involved were Berlin President Claudiu Ciurea, Vice-President Robert Förstemann and "road expert" Jörg Wittmann and the representatives of German cycling, General Secretary Martin Wolf and BDR Vice-President Günter Schabel. Its President Scharping did not even report back. All of them were not prepared to give up their legal position. This was despite the fact that for Schabel and Ciurea in particular, the breach of the law was obvious with reference to the sporting regulations. Sina Päske of Wheel Divas e.V., the organiser, had no other option but to go to court and announced this step to Schabel. Now the organiser Michael Michael Lemke will re-advertise the 28th International kids-tour at rad-net. It is to be hoped that this will bring the tour into calmer waters. Sina Päske now has to write to the Landessportbund Berlin and other sponsors, because the BRV had tried to get funding from them or from the Rapha Foundation by using a wrongly declared kids-tour, which should have been the Youngster Race. The Youngster Race is not a kids-tour. And the kids-tour is not "former". Those who claim this like Ciurea or Wittmann want to deceive. By the way, the BDR and the BRV now have to share the costs for this necessary court case at the regional court in Frankfurt/Main. It is to be hoped that the perpetrators will learn from the damage. The kids-tour takes place. Only the result counts. The article will be edited further. Bund Deutscher Radfahrer e.V. Senatskanzlei Berlin Landessportbund Berlin e.

The medals for our kids are here. Whether we are allowed to hand out kids-tour medals is still open. We are working on a solution. We do not hear anything from our representatives Bund Deutscher Radfahrer or Berliner Radsport Verband. Bund Deutscher Radfahrer e.V. Senatskanzlei Berlin Landessportbund Berlin e. V.

2.CEO Wheel Divas Cycling Team Päske met Simon Geschke late on Wednesday. "Berliner?" he asked Päske, "listen "ick" ( Berlin slang for I) ". Geschke, like Päske `s Wheel Divas, took part in the Wels inner-city criterium. After Max Schachmann, Geraint Thomas now a thumbs up from Geschke for our youngsters and the International kids-tour. It didn't take much thought. Geschke from Berlin wished Päske good luck. The German cycling establishment is different. It does nothing, at least nothing for the children. The men continue to muddle along, looking for ethically and morally clean paths instead of success. Sincerely to Allen "road manager" Jörg Wittmann, two men, and all the others from the entire BDR. I have already reported on the state of affairs. Both the organiser Wheel Divas e.V. and I are getting a lot of enquiries. Wheel Divas rider Stefanie Paul herself is actively involved in the preparations for her kids' trip from Hanover to Berlin. Or how do I explain to the kids that less than 10 men are preventing hundreds of participants from accessing the world's most famous children's and only Berlin stage ride? Can you really tell kids that the press officer Ralph Wittmann publicly declared that the KIDS-TOUR can only take place if the KIDS-TOUR is no longer called KIDS-TOUR? Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) Das tut nichts, jedenfalls für die Kinder weiter nichts. Die Männer wursteln weiter, suchen ehtisch- moralisch saubere Wege, statt den Erfolg. Befindlich Allen "Strassenfachwart" Jörg Wittmann zwei Männer und und alle anderen vom gesamten BDR Über den Sachstand hatte ich ja bereits berichtet. Sowohl beim Veranstalter Wheel Divas e.V. als auch bei mir türmen sich die Anfragen. Wheel Divas- Fahrerin Stefanie Paul selbst aktiv an den Vorbereitungen zur Reise ihrer kids von Hannover nach Berlin schwillt der Kopf . Oder wie erkläre ich den kids, dass weniger als 10 Männer hunderten von Teilnehmern den Zugang zur weltweit bekanntesten Kinder- und einzige Berliner Etappenfahrt verhindern? Kann man das Kindern tatsächlich erzählen, dass der Pressewart Ralph Wittmann öffentlich erklärte, die KIDS-TOUR könne nur stattfinden, wenn die KIDS-TOUR nicht mehr KIDS-TOUR heisst? This is how cycling goes in Germany. All the numbers are declining. In the free economy that would be impossible. With "I don't interfere, I don't say anything, I duck out", we become very, very successful? Päske | Wheel Divas could feel and experience how cycling goes abroad at its recent races in Slovakia, Hungary, Graz and now Wels. Such a smear theatre is unimaginable, especially for children there. If all those involved would give their opinion a voice, it could work. Put pressure on them and your children! Call, write to the BDR and the BRV. That's enough for now. If you pay too much attention to a donkey, he'll think he's a racehorse. If you have any questions, please contact me. Wish me and you luck and the confronatists moral insight. Yours, Michael Lemke.

The national cycling league team Wheel Divas supports organiser Michael Lemke at the kids-tour 2022. The team is currently on tour in Slovenia, Hungary, Austria and Germany. At the Graz Old Town Race, 2.CEO Päske had the opportunity to talk to many representatives of international sport. Among others with Geraint Thomas. I saw Geraint Thomas calmly fitting his back number with safety pins. Asked about the kids-tour, he promptly said: "I know the kids-tour in Berlin" and wished me good luck. I kept my worries to myself. No, nobody can understand the unfair behaviour of the actors Bund Deutscher Radfahrer and Berliner Radsportverband. The Bund Deutscher Radfahrer deletes the kids-tour from the rad-net calendar of events, the Berlin "Fachverband" with the "Fachleuten" say adé to junior sport and children. The unanimous opinion in Graz is that there can be no reason in the world to deny the children their wish for a stage ride in Berlin, especially after 2 years of Corona. And right, where it says kids-tour on it, it should be kids-tour in it. Neither professionals, nor organisers, let alone the participants, national as well as international federations or teams can understand all this. Especially not that an original kids-tour should no longer be called kids-tour. Thomas was the big star at the Altstadtkriterium Graz and won. He is Tour de France winner, third this year, two-time Olympic and three-time World Champion. He started small once. He couldn't have been a winner in Berlin. Bund Deutscher Radfahrer e.V. Senatskanzlei Berlin Landessportbund Berlin e. V. rad-net Competence comes to competence.

The Bund Deutscher Radfahrer deletes the original kids-tour from the calendar. Almost 500 participants, parents and coaches are stunned and angry. Old men with sensitivities against children: demands for implementation remain ignored. This is how cycling works in Germany. The Bund Deutscher Radfahrer deletes the kids-tour from the rad-net calendar of events. That in itself is a scandal. What's even worse is that I only learned about it by chance. Yesterday, Günter Schabel confirmed the silent deletion to Hans-Günter Päske, 2nd CEO of the organiser Wheel Divas Cycling Team e.V. He is on his way to the next competition in Austria with his women's team after 2 UCI races in Slovakia and Hungary. Schabel is vice-president of competitive sports at the BDR. I think that with his powerless assertiveness our elected representatives Scharping, Schabel, Wolf, Moster and our young people are giving up. He who does nothing will be done to. Schabel also gave reasons. I should continue to communicate without result with the Berlin President Claudiu Ciurea, the BDR sees itself as being on the outside. On the outside when it comes to children? And should I really switch off the kids-tour website? And what will happen next year? The active participants are holding their own against the BDR and BRV opinion: More and more clubs, coaches and sports directors are in favour of the original kids-tour. With yesterday's 40th team registration by Nick Kracik | TSC Berlin, all Berlin teams are also participating. In addition, the youth leaders of the northern federations had spoken out in favour of holding the 28th International kids-tour from 26.08.22 - 28.08.22. All of them, including the Berlin teams, continue to demand and expect the tour to take place, sending out clear signals for the kids. Berlins president Claudiu Ciurea and his Berlin "road manager" Jörg Wittmann are against it. Wittmann had already buried the Tour de Berlin during his term of office. Ciurea wants to push his invention "Youngster Race". Whether this succeeds will now also depend on the character of the team bosses and team managers. My organising team, sponsors and last but not least the board of Wheel Dives e.V. with Sina Päske now have to weigh up and consider the next steps. Thank you very much for the comfort, support and many suggestions received here yesterday. I have not remembered all of them, so only the most important ones: The presidents of the regional associations and team leaders are in favour of holding the kids-tour and request their top association, the Bund Deutscher Radfahrer, to register the kids-tour on rad-net. This would be legally impossible to pass. The presidents of the regional associations and team leaders are in favour of holding the kids-tour and call on the Berlin cycling federation to approve the event. Another national association advertises the kids-tour. All questions about the impending cancellation of the 28th kids-tour can be answered by the non- and acting persons Claudiu Ciurea | President Berlin Cycling Federation Robert Förstemann | Vice President Berlin Cycling Federation Jörg Wittmann | "Road Manager" Berlin Cycling Federation Andreas Müller | Head of the Berlin Cycling Federation Office Rudolf Scharping | President German Cyclists' Federation Günter Schabel | Vice President Competitive Sports German Cyclists' Federation Patrick Moster | Director Competitive Sports German Cyclists' Federation Martin Wolf | Managing Director German Cyclists' Federation The organising team will have to discuss further options today between work, cycling and training. I'll be in touch, I promise. If you have any questions, please contact me. Yours, Michael Lemke. Bund Deutscher Radfahrer e.V. Senatskanzlei Berlin Landessportbund Berlin e.

„Instead of creating out of values, blocking is done out of sensitivities."* From us, you're good to go: Start for our currently just under 40 cycling teams. However, they currently need a wide cross for the old men initiated sensitivities and the blockade of the Berlin Cycling Federation | Berliner Radsport Verband. Dear friends of the kids-tour, today again a small stand to the preparations of the 28th international kids-tour, the original as I must add now again and again. Because not always where Nutella is on it is also Nutella in it. I just don't know quite how to start: So I work off publicly what is close to my heart. The status I can say that despite the delay, our preparations are progressing well. As expected, the registrations I have received do not correspond to the status for 2019, but the kids-tour is well staffed internationally. The 1st and 4th stages have been approved and are therefore safe. Approvals for the 2nd and 3rd stage are currently being processed. Many thanks at this point to the Landesbetrieb Straßenwesen Brandenburg. As always, the cooperation with Section 33 of the Berlin police in Marzahn is particularly commendable. All this does not come by chance, but has to do with the good execution of the last years. The medals, which are so important for our children, are on their way to Berlin, and most of the infrastructure has already been provided. Toilets have been ordered, waste disposal has been commissioned, jerseys have been ordered, and so on and so forth. So we are up to date. Mind you WE, the Orga- Team. Dear adults, dear BRV and dear BDR- what child do you want to explain her and this behavior, how to justify? Should not we do everything for this photo? Bogus problems and challenges The Berlin cycling federation with president Claudiu Ciurea and "road specialist" Jörg Wittmann seem to be so busy with their many new projects that for months they have also continued to neglect Berlin's only and last traditional race, and that too is a tradition. Their new website, a new logo and a lot of loud ballyhoo give this impression. Their daily business remains deliberately not only lying, the tradition event kids-tour is deliberately torpedoed. My communication with the BRV has been monosyllabic for 8 weeks. The demand: I have to switch off this Internet side to prevent any reference to the kids tour, then perhaps..... oh yes? Mediation, Schlichtung, Rechthaberei und Kompetenzüberschreitung The German Cyclists' Federation has a different view. It was called in by Sina Päske and me among other things with vice-president Günter Schabel, coordinator road Dr. Peter Pagels, Ulrich Müller | rad-net GmbH and and as Mediatior. I am not the only one who sees mediation as a cooperative solution to the conflict. Through structured negotiations with the help of the BDR, we could have worked out an agreement together that meets the needs and interests of the children and then all of us. Unfortunately, to the astonishment of the BDR, neither President Ciurea nor "road expert" Wittmann share this view. I hear excess of competence and vanity, there is talk of sensitivities and egocentric behavior. I say distortion of competition, some old men obviously do not want competition. And I add, deception: because while for a long time there was talk of a kids-tour at the BRV, this is now called youngster-race. Yes, what now, Mr. President, also applies to you: Where Nutella is on it, there should also be Nutella in it. By the way, the BDR's own plausibility check as well as by its register Rad-Net has been completed positively. This is also in accordance with the BRV statutes: "Decisive for the implementation of events and for sporting activities are the sporting regulations and the competition regulations of the BDR". I have complied with this. Accordingly, the tour is to be approved, but it is not. "Sounds funny - but that's how it is" (Peter Lustig)." So our tender is not approved by the "road specialist" Wittmann because of which serious reasons? Are these reasons based on the sport regulations or rather on the style of the BRV? And are possible reasons suitable to prevent an international stage ride for children? " Wenn Du nicht mehr weiter weisst, bilde einen Arbeitskreis" Dies soll nun in dieser Woche geschehen. In einer spetakulären Vorstandsrunde werden wohl dann weniger die Sachargumente zu Gunsten der Kinder priorisiert als vielmehr die vom BDR zitierten Befindlichkeiten. Man kann nur hoffen, das nicht nur Ahnungslose, Trostlose, Treulose und andere Lose in diesem Kreis sind, sonst dauert die Freigabe wohl noch länger. Oder sollte man es eher Verhinderung um jeden Preis nennen? Wer weiß, die Wege des Herren sind unergründlich, wie die Denk- und Handlungsweise einiger im Berliner Verband. Ich bitte alle nationalen und internationalen Gäste für den Vorstand des Berliner Radsportverbandes der Sportmetropole Berlin weiter um Geduld. "If you are stuck, form a working group". This is now to happen this week. In a spetacular board round then probably less the factual arguments in favor of the children are prioritized than rather the sensitivities quoted by the BDR. One can hope only that not only clueless ones, comfortless ones, faithless ones and other lots are in this circle, otherwise the release lasts probably still longer. Or should one call it rather prevention at any price? Who knows, the ways of the Lord are unfathomable, like the way of thinking and acting of some in the Berlin association. I ask all national and international guests for the board of the Berlin cycling federation of the sports metropolis Berlin further for patience. So for the time being, the arms remain a little lower than those of the young athlete in the picture. I still have one: Team standings today 18 teams U13 15 teams U15 male 6 teams U15 female Your Michael Lemke. Bund Deutscher Radfahrer e.V. Senatskanzlei Berlin Landessportbund Berlin e.

Even after two tough heat stages in the Swiss Alps, Maximilian Schachmann has a smile left for the international kids-tour Berlin, gives us a thumbs up and wishes good luck. Maximilian Schachmann | 2008: Winner of the international kids-tour Berlin, today a successful professional. This is how cycling goes. 📷 frontalvision No doubt about it! If you know the original, you don't want a copy. Schachi learned how to ride a bike and win in Berlin. Currently, Berlin's most successful road cyclist, Maximilian Schachmann, winner of the kids-tour 2008, is recovering from the exertions of the Tour de Swiss. Schachmann is not just anyone for the head of our organising team, Michael Lemke. He is his protégé. Schachi learned and trained for the longest time at MRC Marzahn. Tour de Swiss 2022 Switzerland's most important cycling race, the Tour de Suisse, took place from 12 to 19 June 2022. It is considered a dress rehearsal for the Tour de France. The Berliner was among them. A winner of the kids-tour Berlin 2008. Maximilian Schachmann finished the Tour with a 10th place for his team BORA - hansgrohe. Max does not forget his roots. In 2008, under the guidance of Michael Lemke, he won the International Kids Tour in the U15 age group. From the U19 age group onwards, Schachi was with SC Berlin and immediately became junior runner-up in the road race in 2011. After that, nothing could stop him. He turned professional. I met Max at the SC Berlin offices. When I asked him what he wanted to do for a living: win the Tour de France. We keep our fingers crossed for Max. Anything is possible.
