Landsberg cycles hard: over 860,000 kilometers for climate protection!

Cycling will be very popular in the Landsberg am Lech district! This year's CITY CYCLING campaign has already triggered a huge wave of enthusiasm. The aim of this nationwide campaign, in which the district has taken part for the 12th time, is to cover as many everyday kilometers as possible by bike. From individuals to municipalities, companies, clubs and schools - everyone is invited to take part and make an important contribution to promoting cycling. The Landsberg district reports that...

This year, over 4,000 active cyclists got on the saddle and together covered more than 860,000 kilometers CO2-free! This anonymously recorded driving data, which is available via the CITY CYCLING app and the RaDar! are not only a great way for participants to track their performance, but also help with cycling planning in the district. This provides the community with valuable information about routes, usage patterns and dangerous areas.

New impetus for the cycle path network

Another positive effect of this campaign is the continuous expansion of the cycle path network. What is particularly pleasing is the new cycle path that was opened between Kinsau and Denklingen, as well as four new cycle path sections in Geltendorf, which were completed thanks to CITY CYCLING. This expansion is an important step in promoting sustainable mobility in the district, so that cyclists can travel even safer and more comfortably.

The advantages of cycling are many: whether for the commute to work or for errands in the city, many people like to use a bike. The author of a report mentions that he has been using the bike consistently since around 2008 and that it gives him both physical balance and a clear head. He also sees the bike as an essential contribution to climate protection and the careful use of resources. This attitude is impressive, especially when you consider that around 40% of Germans often use a car to drive less than 5 km.

A call for consideration

But not everything is rosy in the cycling world. The challenges are also present. Many cyclists would like to be more considerate from drivers. A circumstance that is frightening for the author of the report, because he himself does not suffer from his decision to drive little or not at all. The flexibility of the bike and the ease of finding a parking space contribute to the positive attitude towards this environmentally friendly means of transport. This is another reason why cycling should be promoted more in cities, as well as in our district - after all, the focus should not only be on the car, but also on the needs of cyclists.
