Thousands of motorcyclists took to the streets to protest against riding bans and (motorcycle only) speed limits in Germany.

The protest took place in Nuremberg, Leipzig, Munich, Oldenburg and Cologne, also in Stuttgart.

Despite the large turnout, reports suggest that the protest was held according to the social distancing rules.

The demonstration was an effort to protest against the local council’s decision to slap a (motorcycle only) 50km/h speed limit on the B500 (one of the best riding roads in Europe).

Motorcycles were banned entirely from some roads, such as the L687 between Rönkhausen and Wildewiese, considered another scenic route among bikers.

According to reports, another protest set to take place in August.
