Back in the day, he loved to playfully jump his bike over benches, pallets, or whatever else was in his way. He competed for a while and has performed at various shows. Even to amateurs, it’s immediately obvious that Gerhard has mastered his bike with ease and possesses an incredible sense of balance. At some point, he took a step back from biking and started climbing—big walls, ice climbing, and preferably on very high mountains. In the winter, he prefers skiing, and during breaks, he writes books or plans his next expeditions.

A few years later, the bike drew him back in like magic. But not just to blast down the trails—rather, to explore alpine terrain—and if necessary, even through the water. What was that again, bike rafting? Gerhard Czerner will tell you all about it and explain how he came up with the idea and what fascinates him most about it.
