The Nuremberg Company Run:<br />
<strong>Geis</strong> took part<br />
Artistic-bike world<br />
champion works for <strong>Geis</strong><br />
Whether it‘s jumping from the saddle onto<br />
the handlebars, or riding backwards on the<br />
rear wheel with no hands, no one in the world<br />
can currently hold a candle to <strong>Geis</strong> employee<br />
David Schnabel in the world of bicycle acrobatics.<br />
The 25-year-old proved this once<br />
again at the 54 th UCI Indoor Cycling World<br />
Championship, held at the end of 2009 in Tavira/Portugal,<br />
in which he beat competitors<br />
from 18 nations to become World Champion<br />
in the Men‘s Single artistic cycling competition.<br />
This is the fourth world championship<br />
title for the performance athlete, who trains<br />
for two hours three evenings a week.<br />
During the day, David Schnabel works as an<br />
administrator in <strong>Geis</strong>‘ distribution logistics<br />
and warehousing area in Würzburg. „We<br />
are proud to have a world-class sportsman<br />
as part of our team“, says <strong>Geis</strong> Site Manager<br />
Marco Weißensel. David Schnabel is modest<br />
about his achievements: „I‘m happy that my<br />
sporting activities are viewed so positively at<br />
<strong>Geis</strong>.“ —<br />
On 6 May, almost 10,000 runners proved their sporting fitness by taking part in this year‘s Nuremberg<br />
Company Run. Among them were 30 runners from the <strong>Geis</strong> <strong>Group</strong>. The focus as always was on enjoyment<br />
rather than on running time. On the six-kilometre run, runners ran around the Dutzendteich lake.<br />
„This is the third time in a row that we have taken part in the Nuremberg Company Run. Despite the<br />
cold, wet weather, all the participants once again had a great deal of fun and once past the finishing line<br />
celebrated together in front of the Nuremberg Stone Grandstand“, says <strong>Geis</strong> Site Manager Werner<br />
Dettenthaler. „We definitely want to take part again next year.“ —<br />
