Nuremberg as a model: successful turn in the bike traffic climate!

Nürnberg, Deutschland - What's up in Nuremberg? There is reason to be happy for all cyclists in the city! The metropolis of the "ADFC bicycle climate test" has for the first time in the "catchy up" category. According to nürnberg.de , the improvement of the cycling infrastructure has been particularly praised in recent years, and the positive feedback in several categories speaks a clear language.

At the last survey in autumn 2024, the number of participants rose to 1,690, an increase of 16 percent compared to 2022. Nuremberg's cyclists can look forward to more than just a few new cycle paths: the availability of storage facilities, winter service and the cleaning of the bike paths were consistently evaluated. Above all, the availability of publicly usable bicycles, the accessibility of the city center and the opening of one -way streets for bicycle traffic in the opposite direction were very popular. Another highlight is the planning of high -quality, intersection -free speed of bike compounds that are supposed to combine important points in the city.

strategies and progress

The city of Nuremberg laid the foundation for a bicycle -friendly future with the cycling strategy "Nuremberg rises". This strategy was updated last year and integrated into the "Master Plan sustainable mobility". According to ADFC , this plan provides for increasing the cycling share in total traffic to 20 % by 2030. Among other things, the plan is planned for cycling routes with a total length of around 130 km that enable pleasant and safe cycling.

The future bicycle roads and the bike prevention network are part of a larger plan that provides for a comprehensive improvement in the bicycle traffic infrastructure in Nuremberg. As part of the expansion, 17 kilometers of 13 streets have already been redesigned into bicycle roads. Investments in bicycle parking systems in residential areas and at venues should help to make cycling not only easier but also more attractive.

A look into the future

The next survey on the ADFC bicycle climate test is due in autumn 2026. So it remains exciting how the situation will develop until then. The Nuremberg city administration is still active and is working to inspire even more people for cycling and thus increase the quality of life in the city. With all of these efforts, one can only hope that Nuremberg will continue to be on the right track in the future and continue to rise in the ranking of bicycle -friendly cities.
