City cycles 2024: Empt fights for the title - take part!

The preparations are in full swing: The Leer district has started a new attempt for the popular city cycling, and the goal is ambitious. The city of Leer wants to get first place among the cities of up to 50,000 inhabitants again.

Current number of participants and successes

The figures from previous years testify to a steadily growing interest. Last year, more than 6,500 cyclists from the district took part in the campaign and, together, covered impressive 1.3 million kilometers. This not only shows the enthusiasm for cycling, but also the willingness of the community to actively contribute to climate protection.

competition stimulates the business

The city of Leer has achieved remarkable success in the past. The city was able to reach the first place three times and four times in its category four times, most recently the second place behind Tuttlingen in 2023. This exciting rivalry not only promotes competition, but also motivates the citizens to take part in the city cycling more active. Dr. Edgar Behrendt, press spokesman for the city, emphasizes: "We are determined to make an important contribution to climate protection again this year and get first place."

community and team spirit in the focus

participants have the opportunity to join teams or join an open team. Registration is free for everyone and participation is possible for both residents and for working people in the district. It is gratifying to see that city cycling is also supported by schools and kindergartens, which promotes sustainable cycling culture.

appointments and registration

This year's event will take place from September 1 to 21. Interested parties can already register for free. This registration is important to take part in the event and collect the kilometers traveled. The district appeals to all citizens to leave the car more often and to use the bike instead - not only to promote the climate, but also to strengthen the community.

award ceremony for active communities

A special highlight is the competition for the "most bicycle -active communities", which is attractive with a total of 3,000 euros. The promotion of cycling in daycare centers and schools is more to the fore by this initiative, which contributes to inspiring a new generation of environmentally conscious cyclists.

For further information and for registration, interested parties can visit the website of the district of Leer: www.stadtradeln.de/landkreis-leer . City cycling is an excellent way to actively stand up for environmental protection and at the same time promote health and coexistence in the district.
