Members receive the magazine Drahtesel 4 times a year . Membership includes insurance for legal protection and liability as a non-motorized road user; Insurance against bicycle theft is brokered. Liability insurance for inline skating is offered.
The association is a member of the European Cyclists' Federation (ECF) through the umbrella organization RADLOBBY Austria .
For many years now, the Event Company has been organizing the ARGUS Bike Festival for ARGUS, which has been taking place on Rathausplatz in Vienna since 1999, which it claims to be "Europe's largest bike festival". This also includes the RADpaRADe, which is initially driven once and now twice around the ring .
For a long time, more or less independent organizations, groups or active people, especially in the other capitals and larger cities of the other federal states, have been cooperating with ARGUS in Vienna. For the purpose of coordination and unification, RADLOBBY Austria and a uniform website radlobby.at were founded in 2013.
