Cycling Jerichower Land: This is how team spirit becomes climate protection!

Cycling Jerichower Land: This is how team spirit becomes climate protection!

City Cycling, an exciting initiative to promote cycling, is around the corner again! This campaign, which is causing enthusiasm in many cities, is not only intended to be healthy, but also to strengthen cohesion in communities. In 2025, for example, the Volksbank took first place with an impressive 20,000 kilometers cycled last year Meeting point JL reported. The best individual riders and the team with the most kilometers per capita will be honored.

Everyone is invited to the campaign, regardless of whether they are municipalities, authorities, institutions, clubs or private teams - every trip counts! Be it the way to work, a leisure trip or organized tours: every kilometer helps the collective and is fun. In order to take part, you must register via the Stadtradeln app or the website www.stadtradeln.de necessary. If you have any questions about registration, you can contact us by email at stadtradeln@lkjl.de or by phone at 03921 949 9051.

Opportunities and challenges

However, registering for city cycling can take some time Stadtradeln.de explained. Many hundreds of municipalities will be checked in the first few weeks and it is important to be patient until activation. Only after this activation can cyclists register for their municipality. If you have any questions about the processing status of your registration, we recommend that you wait until the activation has been confirmed.

In Hesse, where city cycling is also very popular, 282 municipalities and over 5,000 people have already taken part. The participating communities, including Gießen, Groß-Gerau, Bebra and Eschborn, have set themselves the goal of covering as many climate-friendly routes as possible by bike over 21 days. At this point, online registration is essential in order to document the kilometers driven - a practical app helps here.

Prizes and awards

A special highlight are the prizes that can be won. From bike bags to locks to helmets and special bike parking, there is something for everyone. The categories for awards are also exciting: the municipal parliament with the most cycling activity is honored separately, and the municipality with the most cycling kilometers is given a prize. The special category “City Cycling Star” is also interesting, in which participants travel exclusively by bike and do not use cars – only public transport is allowed.

The “City Cycling” campaign is part of the “Climate Alliance” network, which aims to develop local responses to climate change. This community spirit and conscious commitment to the environment make the campaign not only good business, but also a great way to bring your own community closer together. So, get on your wheels, get set, go! If you haven't registered yet, you can do so quickly and easily and become part of a great adventure.
