Inhalt:

Neuester Trend bei der BIKE VELONALE: das Fahrrad mit besonderem Antrieb. Das kommt aus Deutschland, hergestellt mit viel Handarbeit. Es sieht aus wie ein normales Fahrrad, ist es aber nicht. Schalten im Stehen: die einzigartige Nabenschaltung macht es möglich. Und lässt den Preis für ein Rad schnell auf einige tausend Euro steigen. Die Kunden schreckt das nicht. Hergestellt werden die Fahrradnaben im hessischen Fuldatal. Die Naben schaffen über 100.000 km und halten auch schon mal länger als das Fahrrad selbst. Um sich vor der Konkurrenz zu schützen, hat der Unternehmer sein Produkt international geschützt. Die Patente kosten jährlich etwa 15.000 Euro.

In the summer time the bicycle world is upside down - like every year, because the Tour de France, the hardest bicycle race of the world is on schedule. In the year 2005 the Tour even made a short discourse to Germany.  Jan Ullrich & Co are on their way on high-tech machines, bikes which weigh less than 7kg and which nowadays are made out of high-tech materials like carbon fibre and titanium. But one thing hasn't changed much for many years: the bicycle drive and gear system. Racing-bikes like Mountain- and City-bikes are driven by so-called derailleur gear systems. This kind of gear system is now about 70 years old and is, concerning operation, wear and susceptibility to repairs, anything else than a technology of the future.

Galileo visited the small but very efficient company, which has developed a revolutionary gear system: A gear hub with 14 gears, a within enclosed system, which ought to be the bicycle drive of the 21st century.
