“The exhibition Gearing Up. More Cycling in the City! is all about cycling urban environments. Its focus is on the bicycle as it rose to become a widely used and accessible means of transportation. On 500 square meters of exhibition space, we show milestones of recent bicycle history: from the early mountain bike and the BMX bike to the modern e-bike and cargo bike. Another focus is the conflict on streets and sidewalks today, especially in Germany. It has become difficult for cars, bicycles, and pedestrians to co-exist peacefully. How can we sensibly divide up the limited urban space? What will it take to find good solutions to these conflicts? Gearing Up is evocatively illustrated by the Berlin pop artist Jim Avignon. Several hands-on stations make the exhibition an interactive experience for the whole family. Free interpretive programming for school classes and families and a podcast for children complement the exhibition. …”
