The "City Cycling - Cycling for a better climate" campaign is taking place in Dresden for the 14th time. From September 7 to 27, all Dresdeners are invited to cycle as many distances as possible in a climate-friendly way and collect kilometers for their team, their municipality and the promotion of cycling. TU Dresden is also taking part again. Employees and students can register for the "TUD Dresden University of Technology " team at https://www.stadtradeln.de/dresden/. As last year, sub-teams can also be formed.

If you use the CITY CYCLING app, you can easily track your routes via GPS. Along the way, the distances cycled will be "donated" to a research team at Dresden University of Technology. This data is evaluated anonymously and used by the city administration to optimize the cycling infrastructure. For example, it is possible to identify which routes cyclists take particularly often, where they cycle particularly slowly or quickly or at which traffic lights they often wait a long time. As an alternative to recording with the app, the kilometers cycled can also be entered manually via the website. However, this data cannot then be evaluated to optimize the cycling infrastructure.

The Germany-wide "City cycling" competition is a campaign organized by the Climate Alliance, of which the city of Dresden is a member. The aim of the campaign is to make a contribution to climate protection, to set an example for more cycling in Dresden, to promote health through more exercise and to keep cycling fun.
