Eurobike at Massif Central – a perfect match
As the first corporate event, the Eurobike community will be a guest in style in the newly opened Massif Central in the former Bethmann Bank (Bethmannstrasse 7), located in the cultural cycling heart of Frankfurt. Massif Central is a café, bar and art venue rolled into one and is located around the corner from Frankfurt City Hall, known locally as the Römer. The venue is home to the guilty76 collective. Mastermind and the person behind the initiative, Florian Jöckel, CEO of guilty76 Artist Management and Massiv Central: "You'd be hard pushed to find a better location in Frankfurt for the topic of cycling.
