Motorcycle trials certainly inspired bicycle trials in various locations. However, it is unclear how often this occurred and how serious these activities were in individual cases. R\u00f6hrnbach in the Bavarian Forest is a good example of how, despite or perhaps because of close contact between young people and motorcycle trial riders, bicycle trials did not take place. The goal was motorcycle trials, and just as ten years earlier in Ebstorf, bicycle activities in R\u00f6hrnbach came to an end as soon as the main participants had the opportunity to switch to motorcycles.<\/p>\n

Emil Jahreis, who is sitting backwards on his Ossa in the photo below, taken in R\u00f6hrnbach in 1974, writes:\n\n\"The children certainly imitated us with their old, converted bicycles, simply trying to ride up or down an embankment, but also sometimes riding on the rear wheel. So it wasn't about building sections, but just being there. Among the children are the brothers of Max Thoma, including Alois and Georg Thoma, who are still successful motorcycle trials riders today (2013). Later, Max and Hansi Thoma converted a 50 cc Z\u00fcndapp for trials riding for their younger brothers.\"<\/p>\n

The photo from R\u00f6hrnbach is a great picture. You can see how the young people are imitating the motorcycle trial with their bicycles: not only are they wearing the clothing that was common at the time \u2013 rubber boots and caps \u2013 they are even copying the pose of the motorcycle trials riders taking a break!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Sicherlich hat das Motorrad-Trial an verschiedenen Orten zum Trialfahren mit Fahrr\u00e4dern angeregt.
