Record when cycling: Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen steps strongly in the pedals!
In the district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen, an impressive sign of sustainable mobility was set at this year's city bike. From May 17 to June 6, 2025, cyclists took part in the campaign in 1981 and covered a total of 308,161 kilometers. With this, they could circle the earth around 7.5 times without even emitting a single gram of CO₂. This awareness of the climate and the high proportion of short -haul trips, which made 58% of the distances covered, impressively show how important cycling is for the mobility turn. [Süddeutsche] reports that the number of participants is a new record for the district and underlines that the event has already been organized for the seventh time.
The largest group was the Geretsried grammar school with 265 participants, followed by the Lenggries primary school, which with 149 cyclists covered a total of 7251 kilometers. The commitment of the most hardworking was also recognized: WSV Bad Tölz won first place with 15,723 kilometers, followed by the open team Bad Tölz and the employees from the municipal service center of Oberland, both of whom drove 6594 kilometers.
prices and winners
The teams that covered most per capita kilometers are particularly noteworthy. The “Post” team came to 1759 kilometers per capita, followed by the Braun family from Geretsried with 1733 kilometers and the “Böhme Bikers”, who took 3856 kilometers together. The students of the Geretsried high school won the "Schools" category with 28,614 kilometers. This commitment impressively shows how much joy and team spirit can arise when cycling and motivates the citizens in the participating communities: Bad Tölz, Geretsried, Wolfratshausen, Benediktbeuern, Dietramszell, Eurasburg, and Lenggries.The campaign, which was under the motto "Radules for a good climate", was strongly supported by Mayor and Mayor, including that of Geretsried and Wolfratshausen. The opening ceremony on May 5 for the Kurhaus in Bad Tölz and the joint cycling on May 6th at the town hall of Geretsried set a clear sign of the community and the importance of cycling.
bike paths and challenges
Nevertheless, there are challenges when expanding the cycle paths. Nature conservation and land acquisition represent obstacles, but successful projects have already been implemented. New bike paths along the B13 from Bad Tölz to Lenggries and according to the planning between Reichersbeuern and Waakirchen are a beginning. Future connections such as the planned bike connection from Bad Tölz-Farchet to Unterleiten are also in prospect.
According to experts,Cycling not only has a positive impact on the climate, but also improves the quality of life in urban rooms through less noise and dirty air. [The yellow sheet] indicates that the promotion of bicycle traffic is crucial for the achievement of Germany's climate goals, especially in view of the fact that over 40% of all car journeys in Germany are shorter than 5 kilometers-paths that are ideal for the bicycle.
If every commuter who rides a bike 10 kilometers a day can save around 365 kilograms of CO₂ annually, the influence of cycling on the CO₂ balance becomes clear. With a desired proportion of bicycles of 30%, we could save impressive 1.7 million tons of CO₂ annually. [AgencyX] informs that a doubling of the cycle traffic share could reduce CO₂ emissions by 6-12%.
summarized, the city cycling in 2025 shows how cycling can not only be an environmentally friendly, but also a community -building act. With their commitment, the citizens from Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen not only set a record, but also made a valuable contribution to the mobility turnaround, which remains-and without any pollutants. The future is cycling!
