Motto
„Common Independence“
In
2008, our European Tandem-Tour went to St. Peter’s at Rome where we handed the
Charter for the Rights of Patients with Macular Degenerations over to Pope Benedikt
XVI after the General Audience.
Despite
remaining within Germany this time, the Tour retains its European character as
our cyclists come from various European countries, such as Switzerland, Belgium,
Luxembourg, Italy, France and Finland.
Description
The
escort vehicles are marked with our sponsors’ logos. The cyclists (seeing/partially-blind
or blind) are wearing jerseys in vivid yellow colour and will be going in a line
about 100 metres long together with the ambulance and the sweeper bus. The other
escort vehicles will be driving outside the cyclists line. The line is going from
Flensburg to Garmisch-Partenkirchen with police escorts from each federal state
crossed. The escort vehicles, the leader of the cyclists line and one police vehicle
will be communicating via radio system .
Participants
25
Tandem teams (seeing pilot / partially-blind or blind co-pilot) and 10 individual
cyclists (substitute pilots) from 7 European nations (B, CH, D, F, FIN, I, L),
7 escort vehicles (among them one ambulance) with 14 helpers. The total number
of participants is 75.

Traffic
regulation
The
tour will observe the Road Traffic Act and the instructions of the local police
officers. We will be going at a pace of about 26 kms/h. The tour participants
are obliged to go as a group and to wear a helmet. Insurance is covered by a group
third party liability insurance signed by the event organizers.
Our
aims
-
To inform about AMD, the age-related macular degeneration.
-
The possible influence of the genes.
-
The importance of early diagnosis and nutrition, the negative influences of smoking
and alcohol.
-
To inform the public about other retina diseases, such as MD (macular degeneration),
RP (retinitis pigmentosa), Usher Syndrome (RP combined with partial deafness)
and their consequences.
- Support
of retina research.
Furthermore
-
We are practising the sporty model „tandem“ to stand for a social tandem within
our society.
-
Publicity for fairplay in sports and in our society when dealing with disabled/handicapped
people.
-
Support for and Promotion of Honorary Posts.
The
information events in the cities
Since
its founding in 1977, about 70 regional groups of the Pro Retina Deutschland e.V.
have been set up. Their meetings and activities are adapted to the regional demands
and requirements but they are all united in the aim to inform as many people as
possible about retina degeneration and its consequences and to support the Pro
Retina Foundation.
Instead
of the AMD information bus, each of the regional groups in the cities Kiel, Lübeck,
Hamburg, Celle, Jena, Forchheim, Ingolstadt and Munich are going to organise an
information day „Around the Eye“ when the Tour stops at their city.
The
patrons of the information days will be the mayors of the cities mentioned. The
events will be held at central places. There, representatives from the regional
groups, from health insurance companies, eye specialists, opticians, aid producers
and consultants of the associations for blind people will inform and advise the
interested public free of charge. Visitors can test walking sticks for the blind
and special demonstration glasses for RP (Retinitis Pigmentosa) and AMD (age-related
macular degeneration) in an obstacle parcours and feel how the blind and visually
handicapped experience everyday life.
Financing
As
with the past Euro-Tandem-Tours, we are asking well-known companies and institutions
to take sponsorships.
Total cost of the project: 120,000.00 EUROS
