City Cycling 2019

City cycling finished – successful teams receive vouchers

The campaign Stadtradeln in Donaueschingen, which ran from 01.07. to 21.07. is finished. The environmental office of the GVV evaluated the documentation. 118 cyclists in 12 teams have cycled a total of 35,334 km. Compared to driving a car, around 5000 kg of CO2 emissions were saved.

Donaueschingen did not reach the number of participants and mileage of the neighbouring cities Tuttlingen and Singen, which of course have more inhabitants. But if you look at the kilometres cycled per participant, Donaueschingen is ahead. With 330 km per person, the Donaueschingen cyclists have covered considerably more than the Tuttlingen cyclists and almost twice as many as the singers.

Even though Donaueschingen was not among the top ten nationwide, the campaign was successful. It was shown that the bicycle has the potential to be an every[ ]day means of transport and to replace car journeys in the local area.

On 02.08. at 12 o’clock in the meeting hall of the blue town hall in Donaueschingen an official conclusion with mayor Pauly takes place. The three winning teams from IMS Gear, Mall Umweltsysteme and Kendrion will receive shopping vouchers for Donaueschingen bicycle shops.
