Today marks the official start of the STADTRADELN 2026 campaign in Munich, a three-week initiative designed to promote sustainable urban mobility and climate protection. Residents, commuters, and students are encouraged to form teams and track their cycling kilometers to collectively reduce CO2 emissions. The city of Munich has set an ambitious goal to surpass previous records, aiming for over 6 million kilometers cycled during the 21-day period.
The campaign is not just about the environment; it is also about improving public health and discovering the city’s extensive network of bike paths. Participants can use the STADTRADELN app to log their rides, compete for prizes, and report infrastructure issues directly to the city’s planning department. Local businesses and community organizations are heavily involved, with many hosting group rides and cycling-themed events to foster a sense of community around sustainable living.
As Munich continues to invest in bicycle-friendly infrastructure, STADTRADELN serves as a powerful reminder of the impact individual choices can have on the urban environment. The data collected during the campaign will be used by the city to further optimize bike routes and improve safety for all road users. By the end of the three weeks, the city hopes to have significantly increased the modal share of cycling in daily commutes.
