An important concern
The reason for this important event is clear: the bicycle rally aims to to improve the cycling infrastructure and to sustainably change urban mobility. There are currently over 80 starting points registered in Hamburg, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein. An impressive number of cyclists are expected on this day to work together towards the vision of climate-friendly transport.
The experts at the Federal Environment Agency estimate that up to 30% of car journeys in metropolitan areas could be shifted to bicycles. This potential for reducing the burden on the environment and promoting a healthy lifestyle should not be underestimated. In cities like Copenhagen and Amsterdam, high cycling shares have long been a reality, and the benefits of cycling are many: less traffic, improved air quality and a positive impact on people's health.
Positive effects of cycling
The area of application of the bicycle proves to be extremely versatile. Cycling not only means getting around well, but also minimizing your own health risks. To illustrate this, a study shows that cycling has a positive effect on life expectancy - and is also cost-effective. The cost of using a bicycle is around 10 cents per kilometer, while car costs vary between 21 and 218 cents.
In addition, cycling workers in the Netherlands have been proven to have better work attendance, missing one day less per year on average. That speaks for itself! Cycling is a real profitable business: less stress, more exercise and a healthier city.
The growing enthusiasm for cycling is also a sign of a changing mobility awareness. Continuous cycle networks, modern bicycle parking facilities and comprehensive service offerings are needed to further increase the proportion of cycle traffic. The upcoming bicycle rally is a step in the right direction to have a lasting influence on transport policy and urban development while not losing sight of climate protection.
