Because choosing to cycle rather than travel by car means that CO2 emissions are avoided, the first winners are of course the environment and climate, along with all of those living in the municipalities where there will be less traffic, fewer emissions and far less noise!
And if this is not incentive enough, then perhaps the many fantastic prizes kindly provided by our national supporters Ortlieb, ABUS, Busch + Müller, Paul Lange & Co., WSM and Schwalbe will help convince you!
As a municipal network, Climate Alliance awards prizes in two categories within each of the five population groups (according to the number of inhabitants):
In the special CYCLE STAR category, prizes are raffled off among all of the CYCLE STARS.
The best-placed municipalities will receive Ortlieb bicycle bags in the exclusive CITY CYCLING design. The “Back-Roller Urban” worth €95 attaches securely to all standard bicycle panniers (max. diameter 16 mm). Thanks to its compact size, the “Sport-Roller Plus” worth €85 can be attached to either rear panniers or lowrider racks on the front wheel. It’s also suitable as the first bicycle bag on a kid’s rear pannier.
See and be seen! Also – and especially – during the CITY CYCLING campaign thanks to the bright and stable “Ixon Core” LED rechargeable lights from Busch + Müller worth €80 apiece. Now also available in the CITY CYCLING design!
Five winning municipalities are able to choose from the extensive range of high-quality, timeless bicycle parking systems offered by WSM worth up to €800.
The “Long P9” by QiO is a compact cargo bike for everyday life and families – robust, versatile and ideal for transporting shopping, luggage or children. With its 20” wheels, extended bike carrier, Bosch engine (max. 25 km/h), 1x9-speed Shimano derailleur and hydraulic disc brakes, it offers maximum functionality for easy handling. The “Long P9” (worth €3,999) in the winner's chosen colour is perfect for those wanting to transport more without having to rely on a car.
“Lilly” by QiO (worth €24.95) is ideal for all those seeking a safe, compact storage solution for their bike lock or other small essentials. A practical Velcro fastener allows quick and easy attachment to the saddle rails, while the durable, water-repellent material and laminated zippers keep the contents dry whatever the weather. The saddle bag’s size can be expanded flexibly from 0.5 to 1 litre. A reflective logo for greater visibility in traffic completes the stylish design.
