City cycles 2025: Lübben cycles for climate and health!

Lübben, Deutschland - On June 21, the city cycling started in Lübben in 2025 with an inspiring opening tour over 30 kilometers. Many cyclists, including representatives of the city of Lübben and the municipalities of Eichwalde and Schulzendorf, followed the call and stepped into the pedals. In a great sense of community, over 40 participants have traveled the tour via Hartmannsdorf, Schlepzig, Krausnick and Lubolz to Lübben. A stop in Hartmannsdorf, where a bicycle repair station was presented, and a cool refreshment in Schlepzig made the day perfect. According to Niederlausitz Aktuell Head of Department for Building and Urban Planning, Andreas Kozur, as well as other mayors at this event.

The participants have time until July 11th to collect as many kilometers as possible. And there is a good reason: the aim is to push bicycle traffic and at the same time make a contribution to climate protection. The district of Dahme-Spreewald takes part in this campaign for the ninth time. The importance of this event is also emphasized by RadioCottbus , which indicates the possibility, in the team or even as a municipality to participate.

a climate engagement with foresight

In the previous year, 2,495 participants cycled astonishing 430,510 kilometers, which saved 71 tons of CO₂. Not bad, right? For 2025, even a goal is being sought to exceed this already suspicious success. The project clearly shows how important cycling is not only for health, but also for quality of life. With an element that is popular with young people such as online or app entry, the goals are even more tangible.

But what happens in the field of cycling in general? According to a current study commissioned by the General Deutsche Bahrrad-Club e.V. (ADFC), greenhouse gas emissions in Germany could be reduced by 34% by a massively increased cycle traffic share by 2035. That would be a real gain for the climate! So far, the proportion of bicycle traffic is only about 13% with up to 30 kilometers - so there is still a lot of room for improvement. ZDF today describes that it needs an "inviting infrastructure" for this transformation to create and change incentives.

But also local events such as city cycling show that there is a lot going on - here too in Lübben! The organizers call up all interested municipalities to register to ensure more cycling together with the region and to protect the environment.
