Check out the complimentary bike inspection event happening at Schwanthalerhöhe forum
As the sun begins to shine over Munich this spring, the city emerges from its winter slumber, welcoming residents and visitors alike with picnics in the English Garden, leisurely strolls along the Isar, and bustling street cafes and beer gardens.
Yet, some Munich residents find themselves pondering the same question: Is my bike ready for the new season?
In efforts to put those concerns to rest, a bike check-up event is scheduled to take place on March 21 and 22, as well as March 28 and 29, 2025, from 12 to 8 PM, at Forum Schwanthalerhöhe, a shopping center adjacent to the Theresienwiese. At this event, bicycle experts will provide complimentary assessments, covering everything from chain checks to brake and gear inspections, to light and minor issue reviews.
Visitors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity and ensure their bikes are ready for the spring season. Also, bike enthusiasts can connect with myboo for a chance to win a brand new bike (Instagram promotion details available on their account).
Though there are no dedicated citywide free bike check-up events specifically listed for spring as of late May 2025, Munich does host various bike-related events and activities. Interested cyclists can explore options like the E-Bike Days (April 25–27, 2025), Fat Tire Tours, or the Europa Mai Festival.
In addition, cyclists can prepare their bikes for the season by using free bike apps, visiting local shops, or joining community groups to access maintenance workshops.
