Join STADTRADELN for 21 days of everyday rides in Berlin

Join STADTRADELN for 21 days of everyday rides in Berlin For three weeks each summer, neighbours across Germany log everyday bike trips and watch their Kommune climb the results board in Berlin. STADTRADELN (international name CITY CYCLING) turns ordinary commutes, school runs, and weekend loops into a town-wide team sport. What you can do - Find your Kommune and its 21-day window on stadtradeln.de/kommune - Register on stadtradeln.de/registrieren and join a club, school, workplace, or Offenes Team (two people already count as a team) - Log kilometres in the STADTRADELN app, the browser km-book, or a paper sheet handed to your local coordinator - Ride anywhere: StVZO bikes, cargo bikes, handbikes, wheelchairs, footbikes, and Laufräder all count How it works Each participating municipality picks 21 consecutive days between 1 May and 30 September. - Registration stays open through the last campaign day, with a seven-day catch-up window afterward - One team per Kommune per person; if you live and work in two participating towns, use two accounts and log each kilometre only once - Races and indoor trainers do not count - Prizes span five population size classes, newcomer awards, the Goldene Speiche, and local team prizes set by each Kommune - Full rules: Spielregeln Why it matters Streets fill with familiar faces on bikes, and the tally belongs to the whole town, not a solo leaderboard. Collective kilometres nudge councils toward better lanes while riders have fun on routes they already know.

Walk the car-free Danube embankment in Budapest

Walk the car-free Danube embankment in Budapest Every warm season Budapest opens the lower Pest embankment to people instead of through-traffic. Szabad a Rakpart / Nyitott rakpart turns the Jane Haining and Antall József stretches into a shared riverside for walking, cycling, picnics, sport, and community programmes, with civil organisations and volunteers helping fill the calendar. What you can do - Walk, cycle, or picnic on the open lower Pest embankment during the season (free entry) - Join the traditional community table and bench painting on opening day (1 May 2026) when it is announced - Use the calmer Antall József stretch for running paths, yoga spots, ping-pong, grills, and lounging toward Parliament views; keep the lively Jane Haining stretch for cultural pop-ups and evening energy - Follow current programmes on Budapest Városháza (Facebook), as linked from the municipal Rakpart page - Arrive by metro (Vigadó tér), tram, on foot from Váci utca, or by bike: parking is limited once barriers go up How it works The city closes the lower embankment to cars for a seasonal window (in 2026: 1 May through 23 October, excluding national holidays). From May to September on weekdays a barrier system keeps cars until about 18:00, then the evening riverside is yours. Programmes grow year by year with civil groups; check the Városháza channel for what is on this week. Why it matters Reclaiming the Danube bank gives Budapest a shared outdoor room in the city centre: fresher air by the water, space to meet neighbours, and a living example of streets sized for people. It is joy-led urbanism you can join the same day you arrive.

Ask your town to join STADTRADELN in Frankfurt

Ask your town to join STADTRADELN in Frankfurt Not every street is in the game yet. Residents can ask mayors and clerks to register their Kommune so neighbours can ride together next season. Riders stay free; municipalities pay a tiered fee once they sign up. What you can do - Share stadtradeln.de/home-kommunen with councillors and show what other towns gain - Point authorised staff to Anmelden (only the municipality's official contact can complete registration) - Highlight Land fee support for participating Bundesländer on Partner regional - Mention network partners folded into regional pages (AGFK, AGFS, wegebund, RAD.SH) without needing a separate programme row How it works Klima-Bündnis Services GmbH runs STADTRADELN from Frankfurt. 2026 municipal fees (incl. German VAT) depend on population; amounts below are Klima-Bündnis member / non-member: - Under 10k inhabitants: 540 / 720 € - 10k–49,999: 1,075 / 1,425 € - 50k–99,999: 1,785 / 2,370 € - 100k–499,999: 2,675 / 3,560 € - 500k+: 3,565 / 4,740 € - Extra town under a Landkreis: 280 / 370 € - Fees bind once registered - Some Länder subsidise participation (see Partner regional and Klima-Bündnis STADTRADELN 2026) - BIKE MONITOR offers paid planning analytics from anonymised app tracks; Hessen and small wegebund towns may receive complimentary access Why it matters A registered Kommune unlocks the app, RADar!, Schulradeln where available, and a visible results page that celebrates everyday riders instead of waiting for infrastructure perfection.
