Services | Unionsrittet

The race organizer recommends that all participants start with a bicycle that meets the requirements for participating in bicycle races or at least does not conflict with the Road Traffic Act.

Service and garbage

Our cycling venture is founded on social conscience, responsibility, care, low threshold, and development. It started with a request, and now we have become a limited company. And even if Morsa Sykkel separates from Gravel Scandinavia AS, there will remain no solid bulkheads between us. It is hardly a secret that we want Gravel Scandinavia AS to be a natural center for gravel cycling in parts of Europe. Gravel Scandinavia AS is the Unionsrittet and everything that goes with it. There is application and destination development, bicycle rental, repair, and further development of our good connections with the bicycle industry. We set the bar high!

Morsa Sykkel will continue its tireless work with the Morsa model. Through cycling and cycling-related efforts, we will do a fair day's work for all those who deserve a chance, the community that can be introduced to new goals and objectives.

The Unionsrittet is and should be a pollution-free cycling competition. Why that the individual rider has the same amount of paper and packaging with them at the finish line as at the start? In addition, waste sorting containers will be set out.

Unionrittet collaborates with the Tour of Scandinavia. Tour of Scandinavia has developed and produced a mobile waste collection solution that Unionrittet is looking forward to testing.

We welcome you to a magical cycling experience!
