Zwickau steps into the pedals: record of 147,000 km when cycling!

Zwickau, Deutschland - In Zwickau, cycling is very important, and the current season of the City bikes brings a breath of fresh air to the pedals. On June 17, 2025, the number of competitions of the competition are already promising: the Zwickau cyclists have covered impressive 147,000 kilometers and thus exceeded the mark of the previous year by a remarkable 6,800 kilometers. The previous performance of 687 active participants organized in 86 teams impressively shows that cycling is arriving in the city. Almost twice as many people as in the previous year swung on the saddle and diligently collected kilometers.

The competition that has been running since the end of May is aimed at covering as many everyday routes as possible by bike in 21 days. The Zwickauers have already achieved over 96,000 kilometers in the first two weeks. Even if the number of participants has dropped slightly compared to the previous year, there are fortunately many new teams with creative names, while well-known groups such as the municipal transport company Zwickau, VW Saxony and the Heinrich Braun Klinikum are continuing their cyclist engagement. The division of the teams is shown in the rankings, whereby the Heimatverein Schlunzig is at the top with 19,801 kilometers, followed by Team chief yesterday and Team Kirchen and Diakonie West Saxony.

The Zwickau city bike has established itself as a popular event, and despite a slight decline in the number of participants compared to 2024, the new team ideas are a fresh incentive. The final event on June 16, a residents' meeting on wheels, forms the highlight of the campaign and moves more interested in the city center.

according to Radio Zwickau Zwickau is currently in second place in the Saxony-wide ranking. The end result of the city cycling will only be determined in September, as many cities are still working on their mileage. In contrast, Zwickau is already on the best way to exceed the previous year's result of 142,423 kilometers.

The city cycling in Zwickau is not only a competition, but also uses the joy of cycling to raise awareness of environmentally friendly mobility. A look at the progress of the city shows that the Zwickauer is preparing for the topics of climate and sustainability and further strengthening the cycling system.
