City Cycling

From 1 to 21 May, we will once again be cycling for a good climate and for health. Join the TU Ilmenau team or set up a sub-team for your department or with your friends!

From 1 to 21 May, the CITY CYCLING event will once again run in Ilmenau and Ilm-Kreis. TU Ilmenau is also organising a team.  Whether you are a passionate cyclist or not - all students, employees and professors are warmly invited to take part in the campaign and do something for their own health and a good climate.  

Whether for business or pleasure, in Ilmenau or at home - all kilometres cycled count.

Registration for STADTRADELN is now open.

As cycling together is an incentive, sub-teams can also be formed. Teams with fellow students, in the department, project teams, courses, clubs, etc. are welcome to join and compete against each other within TU Ilmenau. All kilometres cycled in the sub-teams also count towards the overall ranking for the main TU Ilmenau team. 

Who can take part?

All vehicles that are considered bicycles according to the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) are permitted. Handbikes, walking bikes or rides with wheelchairs for wheelchair users can also be recorded for STADTRADELN. By the way, the transport of passengers in a cargo bike, bicycle seat or trailer counts for both the person cycling and the person cycling with them.

How to record the kilometres?

During the three-week campaign phase, every ride can be entered online in the kilometre log or tracked directly via the free CITY CYCLING-app . The city of Ilmenau and the Ilm-Kreis will honour the most active teams at the end of the campaign.

What other CITY CYCLING activities are there?

On 1 May, the ADFC is hosting the kick-off cycle tour „Radeln auf dem Ilmtalradweg“/„Cycling on the Ilm Valley Cycle Path". The starting point in Ilmenau is at 9.00 am at the railway station, the destination is the Baumbachhaus Kranichfeld.

On Tuesday, 14 May, the Campus Bicycle Workshop "Wunderrad" and the Health Management Team will host a city cycling campaign day and special opening bicycle workshop from 3:00 - 7:00 pm on Max-Planck-Ring 14 (between House B and House D). While enjoying cool drinks from ILSC e.V. and relaxing music, you can get help repairing your bike and seek advice on the best bike settings and technical equipment.
