Lower Austria's most bike -friendly community: Wiener Neudorf wins!

The State Council of Transport LH deputy Udo Landbauer proudly announced that Wiener Neudorf won the title "State winner in 2024" and that simultaneous success in bike friendliness in the districts was celebrated. St. Pölten, Amstetten, Horn and Hollabrunn were honored as regional winners. It should be noted that new standards were set in the first round in 2022: nine cities reached the 4-star rating and 15 more were able to upgrade their status.

The assessment of the cities was based on a point system that included crucial criteria such as infrastructure and public relations. Mödling was honored as the "promoted team of the year" after the city was significantly increasing its performance. Numerous improvements in the cycling infrastructure were awarded, including over 50 kilometers of newly created bike paths. This shows a growing commitment to improving the quality of life through active traffic, which, according to Susanna Hauptmann from Radland Lower Austria, should not be underestimated. The prices not only included trophies, but also the promise of a "bike service base" by the ÖAMTC for short repairs.
