Stuttgart cycles for climate protection: 2 million kilometers in sight!

The countdown to one of the most important climate protection campaigns of the year has begun. From May 5th to 25th, 2025, all cycling enthusiasts can take part in the CITY CYCLING campaign. The aim is to cover as many everyday journeys as possible by bike for 21 days and thus make an active contribution to climate protection. The University of Stuttgart is also at the start again and wants to break the 2 million kilometer mark this year. Loud uni-stuttgart.de The approximately 340 teams taking part in this competition are in intense competition with one another in order to transform their transformed passion for cycling into measurable successes for the climate.

Registration is now possible. Those interested have the opportunity to join an existing team at the University of Stuttgart or to found their own team with colleagues or fellow students. The CITY CYCLING campaign is indeed more than just a competition; it is organized by the Climate Alliance, a network consisting of over 1,700 cities, municipalities and districts in 27 European countries. This commitment promotes sustainable mobility and communication within municipalities by bringing together local politicians, school classes, clubs, companies and citizens.

A competitive approach

As part of CITY CYCLING, participants compete for cycling promotion, climate protection and quality of life. The initiative aims to identify the most bicycle-active local parliaments, municipalities, teams and individuals. Loud waldbroel.de The participants' kilometers are recorded via an online cycling calendar, which is accessible on the website www.stadtradeln.de/waldbroel. This not only enables easy documentation of the routes driven, but also a direct comparison between the different teams and municipalities.

In addition, a CITY CYCLING app is available that allows you to automatically track the kilometers driven. For all newcomers there will be guided bike tours to kick off the campaign on Sunday, June 10, 2018 from 2 p.m. These take place at the Raabeweg car park and offer an excellent opportunity to collect the first kilometers in a group.

Get involved!

CITY CYCLING is not only used to promote cycling in the respective community, but also to strengthen the community through joint activities. Another attractive point is the opportunity to interact and exchange via social media and to motivate active participants. The commitment to cycling is at the heart of the initiative and is made concrete by the kilometers collected.

By making an active contribution to CITY CYCLING, participants not only make a contribution to the environment, but also promote their own health and well-being. Be there and do your part to advance climate protection.
