Our CITY CYCLING cooperation partners
EUROPEAN MOBILITY WEEK (EMW) is a campaign by the European Commission offering municipalities from all across Europe the opportunity to familiarise their citizens with the full range of sustainable urban mobility options. Every year from 16 to 22 September, municipalities try out innovative transport solutions or promote sustainable mobility through creative ideas. CITY CYCLING is an ideal activity for EMW: cycle during the week or hold a local final event – the possibilities are endless!

Der ZIV – Die Fahrradindustrie ist die nationale Interessenvertretung und starke Stimme der deutschen und internationalen Fahrradindustrie – inklusive Import und Großhandel sowie etablierter Unternehmen und Start-ups aus dem gesamten Eco-System Fahrrad.
Als Branchenverband bündelt und vertritt der ZIV die Interessen von rund 140 Mitgliedsunternehmen gegenüber den Gesetzgebern in der EU und in Deutschland, der Regierung, Behörden, Medien, Institutionen und Organisationen. Rund 90 Prozent der 2025 in Deutschland produzierten Fahrräder und E-Bikes stammen von Mitgliedsunternehmen des ZIV, die zusätzlich zum Absatz im Binnenmarkt jährlich 1,4 Mio. Fahrzeuge exportieren.
The VCD campaign FahrRad! Fürs Klima auf Tour is specifically geared towards young people. It aims to encourage 12 to 18-year-olds to cycle as often as possible between 1 March and 31 August instead of being driven around by their parents. There are some great cycling prizes to be won, along with a top prize of €500. So young people simply need to register twice, then cycle once to double their chances of winning!

We are German Cycling. We are cycle sport. With more than 153,000 members and over 2,500 associations, we are the pulse of German cycling. To keep us all moving in the same direction, we’ve defined clear principles to set the course for our long-term success. We bring together disciplines that could not be more diverse, each with its own character, in one unique cycling community. Every rider matters in our cycle sport family, a family that is built on trust, reliability and shared values. Because that’s what creates fair competition – and lasting friendships.
Our community spirit reaches far beyond any federation or club. Which is why we welcome anyone who shares our love of cycling.
What’s it like to cycle in your local area? From 1 September until 30 November 2026, all inhabitants of Germany have the opportunity to participate in the ADFC’s cycling satisfaction survey. The “ADFC-Fahrradklima-Test” as it is officially known comprises a total of 32 questions that ask cyclists about their experiences: Do they find cycling fun or stressful in their local area? Are cycling paths blocked by parked cars? Is cycling also safe for families? This survey provides towns, cities and municipalities with important feedback on the local cycling conditions and where infrastructure may need improvement.
The survey is open to all cyclists – whether they cycle regularly or only occasionally – and is the world’s largest study on cycling satisfaction. It is financed by the German Federal Ministry of Transport.

Related Climate Alliance campaigns
Climate Alliance invites the children of Europe to participate in its green miles campaign with their municipality. Daily journeys are made in a fun, active way and green footprints collected for a Climate Voyage around the One World. At the end of the year, the green footprints collected are presented to participants in the annual UN Climate Conference to show the “big ones” how the “little ones” are already being proactive rather than simply discussing: they are implementing practical climate protection measures in their lives!
The campaign is the ideal complement to municipalities’ CITY CYCLING activities.
Das Schulradeln als "Wettbewerb im Wettbewerb" legt im schulischen Kontext besonderen Fokus auf die wichtigen Zielgruppen
- Schüler*innen, Stichwörter nachhaltige, gesunde sowie selbst-/eigenständige Mobilität
- Eltern, Stichwörter Elterntaxi und Vorbildfunktion
- Lehrkräfte, Stichwörter Pendelverkehr und ebenfalls Vorbildfunktion
Der Sonderwettbewerb Schulradeln findet in Deutschland stets auf Bundeslandebene statt, sprich in den jeweiligen Ländern werden die „Fahrradaktivsten Schulen“ gesucht und sollen im Rahmen einer feierlichen Veranstaltung prämiert werden. Die Länder schaffen damit einen Anreiz für das Radfahren insbesondere bei Kindern und Jugendlichen und machen das Potenzial des Radfahrens vor Ort sichtbar.
Die Organisation des Wettbewerbs Schulradeln ist unmittelbar mit dem STADTRADELN verknüpft. Alle Kommunen, die am STADTRADELN teilnehmen, können den Wettbewerb Schulradeln aktiv bei ihren Schulen bewerben – vorausgesetzt, das jeweilige Bundesland nimmt am Schulradeln teil. Das heißt, Schulradeln findet in den Kommunen immer zeitgleich zum 21-tägigen STADTRADELN-Zeitraum statt, den die Kommunen frei zwischen 1. Mai und 30. September eines jeden Jahres wählen können. Radkilometer, die fürs Schulradeln gesammelt werden, werden somit automatisch auch der Stadt oder Gemeinde bzw. dem Landkreis gutgeschrieben, in der sich die Schule befindet.
In diesem Jahr findet das Schulradeln bereits in 8 Bundesländern statt.
