Velociped is delighted: New office and recreation rooms

We have been a member of Travelife since December 2024 because the climate is important to us, whether it concerns the way our customers travel, our office, food, hotels, restaurants, or our carbon footprint in general. At Velociped, we are committed to climate-conscious actions and want to integrate sustainability into our everyday lives. In our regular posts, you can find out how conscious behavior affects the way we work, which processes we are working on, which projects we support, and how you, as a guest, can support us on our journey toward greater sustainability.

Every year, shortly before the start of the season, we cyclists get itchy feet. We want to test our new bikes and get in the mood for the season with a small team event. So this April, we'll be getting on our bikes and cycling a short route around Marburg.

The Kaiser Wilhelm Monument, one of the city's most impressive sights, stands imposingly at the Deutsches Eck. The importance of the city of Koblenz for Velociped is also impressive: many Velociped cyclists are travelling along the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine rivers and the Lahn estuary south of Koblenz. Koblenz has a decisive influence on the quality of the cycle tour as a start or end point as well as during the journey along the Rhine. In this lively city, we value our cooperation with a number of long-standing hotel partners and are also delighted about new hotel openings and new collaborations with long-established Koblenz hotels. It is important to us to be able to offer a special blend of comfort, service and personalised care. Over the off-season, we have expanded our selection of hotels in Koblenz, not least by gaining new hotel partners, so it is time to visit the historic city in person again and exchange ideas with our contacts, some of whom have been with us for many years. We take an invitation to visit the SE Manon ship from SE Tours as an incentive and set off in our Velociped Sprinter towards Bad Ems-Nievern to our bicycle depot at the beginning of April. We meet our station manager Carsten there and then set off on our hotel tour from Koblenz main station.

Mainz, the beautiful state capital of Rhineland-Palatinate, not only offers a rich history and impressive sights, but is also the starting point for most of our cycle tours along the Rhine and is therefore very important to us. We choose our hotel partners carefully and pay particular attention to a perfect blend of comfort and service so that our cycling friends get a good first impression and feel comfortable from the start of their trip. We were last in Mainz a good four years ago to see our partner hotels, meet the contact persons in person and exchange ideas about current developments. So it was clear – we absolutely had to go back to Mainz. After a quick “good morning” in the office and checking the most important e-mails, Steffi and I set off at the end of January to visit three of our partner hotels.
