What can be won?
Helping to create a liveable environment!
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!
Prize categories
As a municipal network, Climate Alliance awards prizes in two categories within each of the five population groups (according to the number of inhabitants):
1. Most active local parliaments
Kilometres per parliamentarian in proportion to the total participating parliamentarians
2. Most active municipalities with the most kilometres cycled
The total kilometres count here. Prizes are awarded in five population groups.
In addition to the best-placed municipalities, the best newcomer in each population group is also honoured.
In the special CYCLE STAR category, prizes are raffled off among all of the CYCLE STARS.
And here are the prizes …
CITY CYCLING bicycle bags
from Ortlieb
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.

Its parts are made of specially hardened steel and connected using special rivets that mean bike thieves don’t stand a chance. Flexible and extremely difficult to saw, it offers the greatest possible protection against manipulation.

Bicycle tyres and air pressure gauge set
from Schwalbe
To ensure that the CITY CYCLING campaign doesn’t fall flat, we’re giving away puncture-resistant tyres from Schwalbe. Choose from the Green Marathon, Marathon Plus, Marathon Plus Tour, Marathon Plus MTB and Marathon E-Plus ranges offering profiles for a variety of different terrains. They all provide lasting protection against the typical tyre destroyers – even drawing pins will fail to puncture the protective layer! To ensure your tyres also have the right pressure, the set worth around €100 includes an Airmax Pro air pressure gauge.

Helmet bags
from Hirnschmalz
The helmet bag is a lockable cover for your helmet and saddle that not only saves you the hassle of having to carry your helmet around with you, but also ensures your seat is dry next time you hop on your bike. It’s very easy to use: Simply pop your helmet in the bag, place it over your saddle, pull the special thread tight and attach it to your bike lock – done! The helmet bag protects your helmet and saddle from the elements as well as from theft. Compact and waterproof, it also doubles as a bag.

Mini-tool and air pump
from Paul Lange & Co.
You don’t always need to head straight to the workshop when your bike isn’t running smoothly. With the universal mini-tool from Paul Lange & Co worth €14 (and a little practice and skill!), you can easily carry out minor repairs for yourself. The little telescope pump (also worth €14) with a pumping capacity of up to 11 bar quickly supplies the necessary air pressure when you’re on the go.
