The Tour de France is underway and Continental is once again a sponsor. 🚵♂️
Did you know that we have a long connection with cycling? Not only have we produced bicycle tires since 1892 – we even played a decisive role in shaping this form of individual mobility.
Thanks to our pneumatic tires, bikes became faster and more comfortable, opening up new possibilities. For the first time, many people were able to travel longer distances, thus expanding their range of travel. To demonstrate the performance of Continental tires, cycling teams and cyclists were also supported from the very beginning. This support was not limited to German riders.
Popular French cyclists 🇫🇷 Lucien Petit-Breton and Émile Georget or Danish cycling 🇩🇰 star Thorvald Ellegaard rode on Continental tires.
The first bike races in history were grueling, and thus provided the ideal opportunity to test and improve our products under extreme conditions. #ContinentalHistory
