The Indoor Cycling Club Worms (VfH Worms) is an indoor cycling club founded in 1968 in the Rhineland-Palatinate city of Worms .
history
The origins of the club, which was founded later, go back to the early 20th century, when around 1900 the bicycle had roughly the same meaning as a car today: not everyone could afford their own. So it happened that there were even several cycling clubs in Worms at the turn of the century. In 1902 the Worms local group of the Workers 'Cyclists' Association Solidarity was founded, which dealt primarily with hiking and cycling in the hall.
The movement was stopped by the Second World War , but the Worms local group was re-established in 1947. At that time they only had four unicycles . From 1955 the local group was a participant in every German championship and the number of members grew steadily. In the years 1960–1963 it was four times the most successful German indoor cycling club of the RKB Solidarity.
In 1968, the now independent VfH Worms was founded . At the same time, it joined the Association of German Cyclists . One focus of the club in indoor cycling is artificial cycling .
Training hall
VfH Worms trains in the listed building ensemble (gym) of the Karmeliter primary school in Worms .
