„Rund um die Kö“ is a beloved annual cycling race held in the heart of Düsseldorf, bringing together both elite and amateur riders. This year, Maya — an amateur cyclist from Amsterdam — takes the win. By day, she works as a bike fitter at a local shop; by passion, she rides for fun and for the thrill of competing with women from across Europe.
A personal glimpse into grassroots cycling, challenge, and community.
