STADTRADELN cycling campaign launches in German cities

From 9 June to 29 June 2026, the nationwide STADTRADELN initiative invites residents, businesses, schools and clubs across Germany to log bicycle kilometres to promote sustainable mobility and community spirit.

In Brühl, local energy supplier Rheingas returns as sponsor, fielding its own employee team and providing the main prize – a hot‑air balloon ride for two – for the top participants. The company highlighted the link between cycling, climate protection and team cohesion.

In Mannheim, the campaign runs until 28 June and features a new “Derby” competition with neighbouring Heidelberg. The city offers a free bike‑check as a prize and showcases local leaders, including the mayor and a city councilor, who champion everyday cycling.
