The General Cyclist Union (ARU) was founded on January 1, 1886. Its founding goes back to the orientation of the German Cyclists Association (DRB), which organized the interests of the clubs in particular. The General Cyclist Union was geared towards the interests of individual cyclists and cycling.

While the DRB and the General German Cyclists Association (ADRV) were only members of clubs, the ARU only consisted of personal members. At the end of the 19th century, the General Cyclists Union also operated under the name Deutscher Touren-Club (ARU) . At the beginning of the 20th century, the name General Cyclists Union DTC existed

The ARU disappeared during the First World War . The re-establishment of the German Cyclists Union (DRU) took place on January 24th and 25th, 1920 in Hanover; the first post-war congress of the DRU in 1921 in Magdeburg. The association magazine was the Rad-Union , which appeared from December 1920 to November 1921 in Dresden, then at the headquarters of the DRU in Hanover. In 1924 the DRU was a founding member of the Association of German Cycling Associations .

The Lusatian Bicycle Federation was associated as an umbrella organization of Lausitz cycling clubs with the ARU. The Deutsche Radler Post as the "official body of the Lausitz Cyclists Association and the main consulate Lausitz of the General Cyclists Union" was published jointly.
