Fellows Ride Berlin – 2026
Fellows Ride Berlin 2026 – Riding with an Open Visor for Depression Awareness
On August 22, 2026, the Fellows Ride rolls through the streets of Berlin. Under the motto “The World is Too Beautiful for Depression,” motorcyclists come together to raise awareness about depression and mental health. The charity motorcycle demonstration is part of the nationwide Fellows Ride series, which has been growing steadily since 2021 and now attracts international attention.
What is the Fellows Ride?
The Fellows Ride was founded by Dieter Schneider, Peter Grethler, and Karl Miller. What began as a single motorcycle demonstration in Würzburg has evolved into a movement uniting thousands of riders across Germany and Europe. The mission: break the stigma surrounding depression, encourage those affected, and raise funds for regional mental health projects. Every kilometer ridden is a statement – loud, visible, and united in solidarity.
Berlin as a Stage
The German capital provides a particularly impressive backdrop for this charity demonstration. Hundreds of motorcycles of all makes and sizes form a convoy through Berlin’s streets. The exact route, starting point, and destination will be announced in advance on the official website and via the Fellows Ride newsletter. Police escort the registered demonstration and ensure a clear road ahead.
How to Participate
The Fellows Ride Berlin welcomes all motorcycle enthusiasts – regardless of brand, engine size, or experience. Participation is free of charge. It’s not about the motorcycle; it’s about the cause. Registration is available through the official website.
Donations and Support
All donations go to the Depression-Inklusion Foundation by Thomas Lurz and Dieter Schneider, supporting regional projects for depression aid and suicide prevention. Donations can also be made independently of participation – via bank transfer or PayPal through the Fellows Ride website.
