On November 4th, Wien Mitte The Mall will become the venue for a charity indoor cycling event, where prominent personalities like Philipp Kaider and Erwin Pröll will collect donations for the association "Help in Your Own Country," which supports people in undeserved distress.

Cycling for a good cause. On November 4th, Wien Mitte The Mall will transform into a stage for lived solidarity: Race Across America winner Philipp Kaider invites you to the big charity indoor cycling event, along with Rudi Roubinek, Gery Seidl, and former governor Erwin Pröll. Every kilometer cycled supports the association "Help in Your Own Country," which is committed to helping people who have fallen into distress through no fault of their own.

Austrian Celebrities Pedal in Wien Mitte The Mall

For the second time, Vienna's largest inner-city shopping center, Wien Mitte The Mall, becomes a virtual racetrack for a good cause. At the invitation of Race Across America winner Philipp Kaider, celebrities will collect donations for the association "Help in Your Own Country" by Sissi Pröll on November 4th between 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM on smart trainers.

Among others, Rudi Roubinek, Gery Seidl, and Lower Austria's former governor Erwin Pröll will dive into the virtual cycling world. Also participating are legendary host Andy Marek and Elisabeth Puschan. The Carinthian will guide through the day and cheer on the participants. This is probably not necessary for Kaider: "Sport has taught me to deal with setbacks, find solutions quickly, and keep going. Sometimes you need someone to support you, and therefore it is important to me that help reaches where it is needed - quickly, humanely, and unbureaucratically."

Florian Richter, the center manager of Wien Mitte The Mall, also supports the action vigorously. "I am happy to pedal here not only organizationally but also as a hobby cyclist. The cycling challenge shows how much we can achieve when we pick up speed together," says Richter.

The Program at a Glance

For spectators, there is a varied program with competitions and participation stations. Those who want to support the action can actively help here and pedal themselves for a donation. 15-minute slots can be found at https://calendly.com/philipp-kaider. The individually adjustable bikes are equipped with combo pedals for sports shoes or MTB shoes.
