Michael Thelen | 15. October 2024
To mark our 60th company anniversary, we are sending our igus:bike on a world tour. The goal is 6000 kilometres in 16 countries over the next 12 months.
And the tour starts in 3 … 2 … 1 …
More impressions of the tour start
Our rider: Melanie Kamp
I am Melanie Kamp, 27 years old from Bonn, North Rhine-Westfalia. I have been working in the Purchasing department at igus GmbH for nearly 7 years while also studying Business Psychology at FOM Bonn. About two years ago, I took on the new purchasing area for the igus:bike division, giving me the opportunity of being involved in this project from its very beginnings. I am looking forward to the upcoming tour and all the experiences I will share with the team.

Hello,
Happy 60th anniversary to Igus. The bike idea is incredibly nice. I think it would be more fun to carry luggage and have electrical support.

Vor genau 10 Jahre. war ich beim Startschuss der igluidur-Tour mit dem Smart rund um die Welt dabei. Auch dürfte ich das Team in Schweden und Dänemark als Journalist begleiten. Diese Aktion hat mich damals stark geprägt und ich schwärme immer noch davon. Ich wünsche der Firma igus alles Gute zum 60. Geburtstag und allen Fahrerinnen und Fahrern des neuen Fahrrads rund um die Welt viel Spaß und Erfolg!!!

Hi Ingus team, it is a nice idea! I am interested to test the bike. Is it possible anywhere? But I can not see any possibility to carry luggage on the bike. How do you want to ride 6000 km in many countries? Best regards and a lot of luck - Katrin

Hi Katrin, thank you for your comment! If you are interested in testing the bike, feel free to get in touch via aheinzelmann@igus.net. Our bike rider is accompanied by a small team - one further person on a bike with saddle bags for small things to carry on. Luggage etc. is shuttled by a van. Stay tuned with us to see how we increase our kilometers driven on the bike. There will be stages in other countries following Germany and this way the stages will sum up to 6000 km at last.

Congratulations for your new Plastic bike and 60 years celebration.
