Fellows Ride Frankfurt – 2026

On September 19, 2026, the Fellows Ride rolls through Frankfurt am Main. Under the motto “Ride with an open visor for depression awareness,” motorcyclists in Germany’s financial capital demonstrate for suicide prevention and greater attention to the topic of depression.
Frankfurt am Main – financial metropolis, international hub, and the largest city in Hesse – provides a striking backdrop for the charity motorcycle demonstration with its iconic skyline, the banks of the Main river, and the historic lanes around Römerberg square. The exact route as well as start and finish locations will be announced by the organizer.
What is the Fellows Ride?
The Fellows Ride is a charity motorcycle demonstration where bikers take to the streets together for mental health and depression awareness. The initiative was founded by Dieter Schneider, Peter Grethler, and Karl Miller and has been held in an ever-growing number of cities and regions worldwide since 2021 – now at over 30 locations across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Norway, Romania, the USA, and Portugal.
Participation is free of charge. Net proceeds from voluntary donations go to regional projects and institutions in the areas of depression support, mental health, and suicide prevention.
Schedule
Police escort the demonstration and ensure a clear road. Detailed information about the start, finish, route, and specific donation purpose will be communicated on the official event page and via the Fellows Ride newsletter as soon as they are confirmed.
How to participate
Every motorcycle enthusiast is welcome to join – it’s not about the brand, it’s about the common cause. Registration is available on the Fellows Ride website.
