The Fellows Ride Motorcycle Demo 2025, themed "Open Visor for Depression Support", took place on July 26, 2025, in the districts of Kelheim, Mainburg, and Eichstätt. This charitable motorcycle demonstration aimed to increase public awareness and support for depression help and suicide prevention.
The event encompassed two legs: the first leg from Abensberg to Kelheim, and the second leg from Kelheim to Biburg. The first leg led from the Berufsbildungswerk (BBW) in Abensberg and passed through Mindelstetten, Altmannstein, Riedenburg, Essing, and concluded in Kelheim, where a short break was taken. The second leg of the rally passed through Bad Abbach, Teugn, Hausen, Rohr in Niederbayern, Kirchdorf, and ended in Biburg with a brief closing rally.
The riding behaviour of the participating motorcycle riders was disciplined and considerate, minimizing the impact on traffic along the approximately 160-kilometer route. The event was supervised by officers from the Kelheim Police Inspectorate, and motorcycle officers from the traffic police inspectorates in Landshut and Passau assisted in the event.
However, no specific location was specified for the conclusion of the event in the districts of Kelheim, Mainburg, and Eichstätt, and no new information about the event's purpose or support for depression was provided for the second leg of the rally.
The Fellows Ride has historically managed to raise meaningful funds for psychiatric care projects and bring positive visibility to depression as a serious illness that affects many directly or indirectly. The event route for the second leg crossed through various towns and villages in Niederbayern, engaging the community and the public visually, creating attention for depression support.
Looking ahead, the next major Fellows Ride event is scheduled for August 23, 2025. Participants will meet on the Marktplatz in 64711 Erbach, Germany, near the Schloss, and the ride is expected to arrive around 1:30 PM in the town of 64756 Mossautal. More details and ongoing updates are shared via Fellows Ride official websites and newsletters, encouraging broader participation and support.
