Cyclists in the Altötting district achieve sensational record results!
Summer cycling was a real hit in the Altötting district! From July 4th to 24th, 2025, a fabulous 1,812 cycling enthusiasts took part in the international “City Cycling” campaign. The momentum from the previous year was exceeded - with a record result of a fantastic 431,268 kilometers! This means that the cyclists left the 399,236 kilometers of 2024 far behind them. All you can say is: This has really picked up speed!
A total of seven municipalities were active in city cycling: Altötting, Burghausen, Neuötting, Töging am Inn, Burgkirchen, Garching a. d. Alz and Mehring. Together they covered the impressive distance in 21 days and avoided over 71 tons of CO₂. A real contribution to improving our climate!
Prizes and honors
At the end of the campaign there were shining eyes and some great prizes at the district office. The certificates were ceremoniously presented. Franz Eichberger from the “Die Radlerinnen vom KDFB z’Neiädding” team was able to secure the title of best individual rider in the men’s ranking with an incredible 2,154.6 kilometers. Among the women, Emilie Zwicklbauer from “S'Bell” was the hardest-working cyclist with 1,355.7 kilometers. Both were able to look forward to vouchers worth 100 euros each.
The “Walter’s Radler” team stood out with a remarkable team performance. The group cycled an impressive 43,530.9 kilometers, with 138 active participants and a CO₂ saving of over 7 tons. Horstmar Tengler accepted the winner's prize of 150 euros - a reason to be happy!
School cycling with success
Particularly noteworthy is the great commitment of the students! The Maria-Ward-Gymnasium Passau Altötting took first place in school cycling with 122 participants and 23,163.9 kilometers. The prize for this remarkable achievement, also a voucher for 150 euros, was presented by District Administrator Schneider to school principal Michaela Ingerl, sports supervisor Sarah Gozzer and Dr. Thomas Pauli presented. Respect for the young cyclists!
District Administrator Schneider himself warmly thanked all participants for their sporting spirit and strong environmental awareness. He is confident that even more cyclists will find their way onto the bike next year. True to the motto: “Into the next round with fresh momentum!” In the coming years, the Altötting district wants to continue to take part in activities such as city cycling in order to further promote the cycling lifestyle. Innsalzach24 and LRA Altötting report the pleasing results.
