The worker-cyclist association “Freiheit” was founded in 1904 by four worker-cyclist associations. The ARB "Freedom" was created in opposition to the merging efforts of the Workers 'Cyclists' Association "Solidarity" . The founding phase was accompanied by mutual public accusations by means of newspaper advertisements in the Leipziger Volkszeitung . The Radfahrerbund was based in Berlin and, for example, on May 16, 1912, called for “all cyclists” to hold a large public cyclists' meeting in Neukölln on May 19.

In 1920 the ARB "Freiheit" was listed for the last time in the Berlin address book.

The new association “Freedom”, however, never exceeded 3,500 members until it was banned by the National Socialists in 1933.

Member clubs

In August 1904, the Workers' Cyclists Association "Freedom" had 14 member associations, including in Berlin, Adlershof, Koepenick, Cologne, Leipzig, Mühlhausen, Kiel, Rixdorf and Wolfenbüttel, z. B .:
