Cycling Units
Our cycling units are group rides on racing bikes. In addition to Cologne, we now also offer these in Munich, Berlin, Hamburg and Girona. The trips are accompanied by our guides. They ensure that the group stays together and everyone feels safe on the road. They also specify the route.
The trips last around 2 hours at an average speed of around 27-30 km/h. Usually a little longer on weekends. Everyone is waited for, because we deliberately want to ride together. All experience levels, genders and ages are welcome!

Beyond Challenge
Leaving the familiar environment to explore unknown areas and face new challenges - that is the goal of the Beyond Challenges. Whether you can search and find us in the Beyond "Find Us Out There" Challenge in a specific region or tackle the "Beyond Segment Challenge", the Horizon Van will be waiting for you.
He will provide you with coffee and water and will have one or two highlights ready for you. Enjoy your Frodissimo espresso in front of our van before continuing the rest of your ride or training. Equipped with service material such as an air pump and tools, the Horizon Van is a safe place to go.
At the Beyond "Find Us Out There" Challenge, we await you with the Horizon Van at different locations. You will only be informed in advance of the location or region in which we will be located. The challenge is to find us.
As the name suggests, the Beyond "Segment" Challenge is all about a segment. This Strava segment is defined by us for one day and the beginning and end are marked with a RYZON flag. The rest is quickly explained: Whoever drives the segment fastest gets the day's victory and wins a prize. The Horizon Van is on site as a point of contact for food and a nice exchange.
Showroom Talks
Interesting and inspiring people and stories are the focus of our showroom talks. The Cologne showroom, where you can usually discover the latest collections, becomes an intimate stage for exciting stories. Sport, the environment, entrepreneurship and social issues all have their place here.
In September 2020, Jonas Deichmann opened the new series of Showroom Talks with his gripping story about his Cape to Cape adventure. Further talks are planned. We will inform you about new dates here and via our Community Newsletter .

We are Teikei, a specialty café based in the heart of the Karoviertel in Hamburg. We think globally and stand for solidarity and sustainable management. We work with coffee that is grown in Mexico according to biodynamic guidelines and sailed to Hamburg. We only use organic and regional-seasonal raw materials that are processed in our kitchen. We live a new associative economic approach on a small scale and believe in change on a large scale. Combining coffee with a good feeling and taste is our claim and thus our goal is to convey an alternative, sustainable economic concept to society. We stand for direct exchange, as a bridge between coffee farmers and consumers and give specialty coffee of the highest quality from soil fertility to the cup.
Convince yourself!
We're glad to meet you.

Guilty Pleasure: | Beer, fries with mayo and onions |
What you really shouldn't know, but will find out anyway:
If the journey gets longer, it gets silly at times.
My most beautiful tour ever:
After 20 years of racing, there are countless memories. What really stuck with me was the ride into the sunrise on the way from Berlin to Stralsund and the view from the Pfänder when Lake Constance slowly emerged from the fog.
This highlight is still on my bucket list:
Bolzano - Rome in one go and "Kill the Hill" Sa Calobra.

My most beautiful tour ever:
Every trip has its charm, but the unconventional tours in particular are memorable. For me, the six-week Germany bikepacking tour is just as important as night trips from Berlin to Stralsund or day trips from Bielefeld to Berlin.

Paris-Brest-Paris
