Bad grades for Rosenheim: cycling becomes a slow seller!
The ADFC has published the results of the 2024 bicycle climate test, and the news for Rosenheim and the surrounding communities is anything but positive. Loud Radio Charivari Rosenheim received a mixed school grade of 4.4, placing it in 104th place out of 113 in its local class in the Germany-wide ranking. This represents a slight deterioration compared to the last survey from 2022. The ratings from the district are also anything but exciting.
The bicycle climate test, which was carried out from September to November 2024, is very popular and is one of the most comprehensive cycling climate surveys in the world. Over 213,000 people voted for 1,047 locations. The aim is to provide transport providers and political decision-makers with a clear picture of the cycling situation in the country. Cyclists have the opportunity to rate their satisfaction with the conditions on site and submit suggestions for improvement, explains the ADFC website at fahrradklima-test.adfc.de.
Results in comparison
The result of the municipality of Bruckmühl is particularly striking, as it achieved the best result in the region with a grade of 3.7. This shows that there are also positive examples that can serve as role models for Rosenheim and other communities. The assessments in Rosenheim and the surrounding area shed light on the challenges that exist for a bicycle-friendly infrastructure and illustrate the need for action locally.
The Germany-wide overall result of the bicycle climate test shows that cycling in Germany has experienced a slight improvement overall. A grade of 3.92 was achieved, which reflects a positive development. Large urban areas in particular actively promote cycling, while cities like Berlin only received a worse rating due to a lack of commitment. Access to electric bikes and innovative transport concepts appear to have a significant impact on ratings, such as ADFC reported.
Feeling of safety and coexistence in traffic
According to the results, the cycling community rates coexistence in traffic more critically than the overall grade. This shows that a sense of security and acceptance as a road user are of great importance for many cyclists. Cities like Aachen have won a special prize with citizen participation projects and campaigns on cycling. This shows that considerate behavior in traffic is not only desirable, but also possible.
In summary, it can be said that Rosenheim and the district's communities still have a lot of room for improvement in the 2024 bicycle climate test. It remains to be hoped that the results will serve as an incentive to sustainably improve the infrastructure and general conditions for cyclists so that better grades can soon be awarded in this country too. The incentives have been set, now it is up to the decision-makers to put them into action.
