Latest events

RadCHECK-Event 2025

On April 29, 2025, the RadCHECK event took place for the fifth time on the grounds of the Institute of Sports Science (Alberstraße 27).
In beautiful weather and with a fantastic atmosphere, many participants took the opportunity to have their bicycles checked and to explore a variety of exciting additional offers.

Thanks to the new booking system with fixed time slots, long waiting times were avoided — giving participants more time to enjoy the event’s many highlights.
The traffic safety training by UKBW and the free ergonomic consultation offered by Techniker Krankenkasse drew significant interest.
SGM was also back again, providing a selection of sports equipment to try out, along with a prize draw featuring great giveaways. Refreshments were once again provided by the student sports council, offering snacks and drinks.

A total of around 120 bicycles were given safety checks — minor defects were repaired on the spot, while more serious issues were addressed through detailed consultation.

A thoroughly successful event – thank you to everyone who joined us!

RadCHECK-Event 2024

The RadCHECK event took place for the 4th time on 24.04.2024. Fortunately, the weather was reasonably good so that the event could take place as planned on the grounds of the Institute of Sports Science (Alberstraße 27). This year, around 120 bicycles were checked by over 15 student RadCHCKER:INNEN. The waiting time for the RadCHECK could be bridged with the varied supporting program. At the DIY bike maintenance event, students learned how to maintain their bikes themselves. At the UKBW bicycle simulator, students could test their reaction speed in road traffic. At the TK Ergonmieberatung, students were able to get tips on ergonomic cycling. The sports student council and Kaffee Ape “von Erden” provided refreshments.

RadCHECK-Event 2023

On 25.04.2023 it was time again and the RadCHECK event opened its doors for the third time. While 115 bikes were checked at the RadCHECK, there was also the opportunity to care for and clean the bikes themselves. Exciting highlights such as the virtual reality application #AUGENBLICKWINKEL360 and the UKBW bicycle simulator, the sustainability station on the 17 SDGs, the movement snack on tour, the photo box as well as the TK bicycle mobile, once again ensured a varied event. This year's greetings by the Rector of the University of Tübingen, Prof. Dr. Pollmann, the Director of the Institute of Sports Science, Prof. Dr. Höner, the Mayor of the City of Tübingen, Mr. Palmer, and the Head of University Sports, Ms. Arzberger, were another highlight. The speeches were prefaced by a captivating show of the dance group "Saltantes". The sports department took care of the physical well-being with refreshing drinks and offers from the grill. In addition, the Kaffe Ape "von Erden" was present at the event for the first time.

It was opened by greetings from the deputy director of the institute Prof. Dr. Tim Pawlowski and the returning speakers Lord Mayor Boris Palmer and the head of university sports Ingrid Arzberger. Good mood for the following RadCHECK gave us the dance group Saltantes with their performance. Not only were numerous bicycles - 120 in number - checked by the hard-working BICYCLE CHECKERS, but there was also the opportunity to look after one's own bicycle. In addition, visitors could shoot bows, donate to the Ukrainians, have their bicycles ergonomically adjusted by the Techniker Krankenkasse (health insurance company), and quench their thirst at the sports department.
