Düren cycles for climate protection: Take part in the city cycling 2025!

In Düren everything revolves around cycling! As part of the city cycling climate campaign, the citizens collect bike kilometers diligently from June 18 to July 7th. The aim of the campaign is to set a strong sign of sustainable mobility. Mayor Frank Peter Ullrich (SPD) emphasizes the importance of this initiative for climate protection and encourages everyone to actively participate. The participants must live, work, go to school or be active in an association in order to be able to participate. The ripped kilometers are conveniently recorded via an online wheel calendar or an app, and there are prices around the bike among all participants. You can recall the bike tour afterwards - everything is documented!

But the city cycling goes beyond a simple competition. It is the most effective way to get people to cover their everyday paths by bike. Studies show that many are already switching to the bike and thus taking a positive impact on climate protection. A well -developed cycling infrastructure is essential to promote the change from the car to a bike. Local politicians are asked here: You should put yourself in the perspective of the cyclists during the campaign in order to recognize the existing strengths and weaknesses of the infrastructure. At this point it should be mentioned that cities such as Copenhagen and Amsterdam already provide excellent examples of high cycling shares.

joint efforts for the cycling infrastructure

The Federal Environment Agency has found that up to 30 % of car journeys could be easily transferred to bicycle traffic in metropolitan areas. In major German cities, over 40 % of the car rides are shorter than 5 kilometers. The bicycle is the fastest means of transport in these short distances. So if we want to work on sustainable mobility, we not only have to increase the number of cyclists, but also improve the framework conditions.

Experts emphasize that solid support for cyclists is necessary to further increase the health -promoting effects of cycling. In addition to reducing air pollutants and relieving the environment, improving the quality of life also plays a central role. The change to the bike has health benefits that usually outweigh the risks of accidents.

As part of the city bike, there is also a free pedelec and e-bike training of the police on Annakirmesplatz. It is an excellent opportunity for everyone who wants to find out about the use of e-bikes. These events take into account the trend that cycling is becoming more and more a lifestyle and modern bicycles and fashionable accessories play a major role.

The entire initiative is a valuable opportunity to raise awareness of the advantages of cycling and at the same time defuse local loads. With a positive cycling infrastructure and a strong community, Düren can become a model for other cities. Curious about more information or registration?
