Welcome to the Micromobility Update from July 19, 2022. I'm Hans Dorsch. And I'm back at my desk. In Cologne. It's 36 degrees outside, the Tour de France is playing on the second screen and I have the news of the last two days for you. A heads up at this point.

Welcome to the Micromobility Update July 15, 2022. I'm Hans Dorsch. Last day for me at the eurobike in Frankfurt and last episode for this week. Today is my last day at Eurobike and this is the last episode for this week. First up, there's transport politics from Germany for you, and then two bits of automotive grade technology in bicycle construction - new and direct from the Eurobike. Zum Start gibt es Politik. Denn die Messe will politischer werden. Und deshalb war auch der deutsche Wirtschaftsminister da. Dann hab ich eine Alternative zum Auto in der Stadt probegefahren – mit Pedalen – auch aus Deutschland. Und dann hab ich noch die Meinung einiger Brandingexpert:innen zu den Messeauftritten der Teilnehmenden Firmen gehört – die fällt nicht so gut aus.

And then I heard the opinions of some branding experts on the trade fair presence of the participating companies - which were not so good.

Welcome to the Micromobility Update from 12 of July 2022. I'm Hans Dorsch - today directly from the Eurobike in Frankfurt - and immediately a few hours late. I apologise for that. But the first day is always a bit stressful. When your train is late, the entrance to the fair you chose is closed. And the corridors that connect the halls are very long. But there are moving walkways that speed up walking. That's fun. I'm looking forward to the next few days.
