cycling and climate protection

The topic of cycling is also becoming increasingly important in other parts of Germany and Arnsberg. The city cycling took place there for the first time in 2019, which mobilizes numerous cyclists every year from May 1st to September 30th. Thomas Vielhaber, who plans to ride a bike to work, uses an e-bike. This shows that the city administration is also behind this sustainable initiative. Mayor Ralf Paul Bittner sees the project as part of the strategy of presenting Arnsberg as a sustainable residential and labor location. It will be a reporting platform called Radar! Offers where citizens can report cycle path problems, which is of great importance for urban planning.

bicycle mobility in old age

Another future -oriented topic is the cycling mobility of older people. The National Radio Plan (NRVP) aims to make Germany a “bicycle country” by 2030. It is known that over 60-year-olds make up a third of the total population and the tendency is rising. But unfortunately older people use bicycles less often than younger generations. The project, which is supported by various institutions, aims to collect old -specific requirements for bicycles and infrastructure. One of the important points is the development of evidence -based measures to promote cycling.

A side effect of this initiative is to improve the social acceptance of older cyclists. This could help that more people like Brigitte Matz remain mobile and enjoy freedom on two wheels.

summarized we see that the problems and needs of cyclists, especially older people, are taken seriously. The community has the opportunity to support Brigitte, while initiatives such as the city cycling and the national cycling plan are valuable steps towards a more bike -friendly future in Germany.
