Salzburg cycles: This is how the health and environment project promotes!
Salzburg, Österreich - The enthusiasm for cycling increases in Austria and Germany! In Salzburg, the "Salzburg Radelt" initiative started, which motivates people to regularly climb on the bike. This year not only individuals, but also clubs, communities, school classes and companies can take part. You enter the kilometers driven in an app that runs until September. Last year, over 4,200 Salzburgers collected a total of an incredible 3.2 million kilometers, which corresponds to a saving of 560 tons CO2, as reported.
A similar trend is presented in Germany: According to the nationwide mobility examination "Mobility in Germany", 11 percent of Germans are already using the bike for their daily ways. Germany is behind countries such as Denmark and the Netherlands (19 and 27 percent cycling share), but the increase is remarkable. Bicycles are particularly popular since the pandemic-according to the two-wheeler industry association, 700,000 more bicycles were sold in 2020 than in the previous year. This development not only has a positive impact on the environment, since cycling is emission-free, but also on the health of the people who can become fitter with this sport, as the aok explained in detail.| Details | |
