Allgemeiner Deutscher Fahrrad-Club
The Allgemeiner Deutscher Fahrrad-Club (ADFC) (German Cyclist's Association) is a registered cycling association and club for cyclists in Germany.
The founding meeting of the ADFC took place on 27 September 1979 in Bremen, after the idea to establish such an organisation arose during the International Bicycle and Motorbike Exhibition (IFMA) on 18 April 1978. Jan Tebbe from Bremen provided the idea and was the first chairman of the ADFC. Other founders were planing and mobility scientists like Heiner Monheim or Tilman Bracher.
The ADFC is an interest group of cyclists in German towns, particularly in mobility policy. It became known for the bicycle climate test, which was carried out in 1988, 1991, 2003, 2005 and 2012.
The ADFC is a member of the European Cyclists' Federation and the International Mountain Bicycling Association. At the demand of the ADFC a National Cycle Traffic Plan was presented in 2002 for the first time by the Cabinet of Germany.
In some regions, the ADFC offers bicycle coding, coordinated with the police (FEIN coding). The ADFC advises in matters of theft prevention, secure bicycle parking facilities, and locks.
The local and district associations of the ADFC offer members and non-members throughout Germany cycle tours of varying difficulty and duration. The programmes are available from the groups and increasingly on the Internet.
"Mit dem Rad zur Arbeit" ("Cycling to Work"): Nationally exclusive with public health insurance, the campaign motivates employees to travel to work by bike, and to encourage companies to create favourable conditions to this end, e.g. showers or parking facilities. Aims are preventive health care and the reduction of motorised individual transport.
The Dachgeber ("roof giver") is a sub-organization of the ADFC and a hospitality exchange service, which mediates on a basis of mutual free accommodation for cyclists on tour. Dachgeber is issued by the traffic educator, bicycle technician and bicycle travel expert of ADFC, Wolfgang Reiche. The hosts are members of ADFC and provide accommodation free of charge on a reciprocal basis, which by rule only includes a place to sleep for the air mattress to be brought along. Dachgeber was created in 1987 as a result of a global bicycle journey that lasted four years. Dachgeber is a non-profit project and lists 3.200 hosts.
