About the Fellows Ride

The Fellows Ride was founded by Dieter Schneider, Peter Grethler and Karl Miller, inspired by Australia’s Black Dog Ride. Since 2021, motorcycle demonstrations have been held in an ever-growing number of cities across Europe to raise awareness about depression and collect donations for regional mental health projects. The motto: “Riding with open visors for depression awareness.” Participation is free, with voluntary donations encouraged.
