City cycling 2025

Bocholt gets back on its bike!

Bocholt is getting back on its bike - for the "City Cycling" competition from 1 to 21 May. The aim is to motivate as many citizens as possible to leave their cars behind and cycle as many kilometres as possible to help protect the climate.

From the original idea of encouraging people to cycle as an alternative to the car, the Climate Alliance 's CITY CYCLING has now developed into a nationwide competition. Over 90 per cent of local authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia take part. Bocholt is also taking part again this year, as are all the municipalities in the Borken district.

"Bocholt is and will remain a cycling city", says Mayor Thomas Kerkhoff. "With CITY CYCLING, we want to show once again how active and committed our citizens are - for their own health and for the climate. The campaign is about more than just collecting kilometres: It's about community and making Bocholt visible as a vibrant and sustainable cycling city."

Participants not only benefit personally from exercise and health promotion, but also make an active contribution to climate protection. In addition, attractive prizes await the most active cyclists.

Late registrations of rides in the app or at stadtradeln.de are still possible until 28 May 2025!

Targets for 2025

Last year, Bocholt took second place nationwide in the 50,000 to 100,000 inhabitants size category with a total of almost 700,000 kilometres cycled by 3,000 active participants. The city wants to build on this success this year and is once again aiming for a top position.

The previous year's figures, both in terms of the number of participants and the number of kilometres cycled, were once again exceeded in 2024. This results in the targets for 2025: significantly more than 3,000 participants cycling well over 700,000 kilometres! So, JOIN US!
