After retirement, Dörich began working with “Aktion Steilkurve” (Action Steep Curve), a cycling programme for children with disabilities.[2] The programme involves pairing disabled children with experienced racing cyclists to ride on tandem bikes in the velodrome to give the children confidence.[3] Due to the speed required to keep a bike upright in the velodrome, children experience the feeling of being on a "rollercoaster" or flying.[4][5] The project is an initiative of the German charity Aktion Hilfe für Kinder.
