City cycles 2025: On the wheels, done, go! So we cycle for climate protection!

Tirschenreuth, Deutschland - On June 29, 2025, an initiative starts in the Tirschenreuth district that encourages cycling and at the same time wants to contribute to climate protection. The city cycling is just around the corner! From June 29 to July 19, citizens, companies, schools and associations have the opportunity to participate. The campaign aims to promote cycling for both everyday and leisure routes and thus leave the car. This important campaign is also in the districts of Wunsiedel i. Fichtelgebirge, Hof and Tirschenreuth continued, as Kreis-tir

District Administrator Roland Grillmeier is optimistic and expects that the results will increase compared to the previous year. As an incentive, prices such as vouchers, guided bike tours, technology training and bicycle accessories are offered as an incentive. Participants can easily enter their kilometers driven via an app, GPS tracking or manually in the browser. Lukas Faltenbacher (Tel. 09631 88-706) and David Runschke (Tel. 09631 88-363) are available for further information or questions.

sustainability in focus

Participation in the city bike is not only a personal contribution to one's own health, but also a step towards sustainable mobility. Experts of the Environmental Federal Office estimate that up to 30 % of car journeys could be shifted to bike traffic in metropolitan areas. Cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam impressively show that a high level of cycling is not only good for the environment, but also increases the quality of life. Cycling not only contributes to reducing CO2 emissions, but also helps a healthy society by reducing lack of exercise and illness-related failures.

With over 40 % of car journeys in major German cities, which are shorter than 5 km, the bike is often the better choice. In addition, cycling not only has direct health benefits, but also leads to economic profits. The lifestyle trend bicycle has many faces and enjoys growing popularity-whether for daily path to work or as a leisure activity.

commitment of the municipalities

In Nordstenmen, for example, a similar campaign was launched that would like to set a sign of sustainable mobility and climate protection. Citizens are invited to participate in the city bike and thus actively influence their own environment. In addition to health that benefits from daily movement, the focus is also on costs. The usage costs of a bicycle amount to approximately 10 cents per kilometer, while drivers have to expect costs between 21 and 218 cents, which makes bicycle use all the more attractive.

The further improvement of the infrastructure is crucial. This includes safe cycle paths, sufficient bicycle parking systems and optimal service offers for cyclists. With the support of such measures, the cycling share could continue to be increased.

Overall, the city cycling initiative shows the importance of cycling - both for individual health and climate protection. So grab your wheel and take part! Further information can be found on the official page of city bike at www.stadtradeln.de .
