Background Information on STADTRADELN and the RadKULTUR Initiative
STADTRADELN is a campaign organized by Klima-Bündnis Services. The organization complements the structure of the European city network Klima-Bündnis and brings together advisory services, campaigns, and data collection services to support the implementation of municipal climate protection measures. The campaign has been running since 2008 and, last year alone, got more than 220,000 people in Baden-Württemberg on their bikes.
All participating municipalities are supported by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Transportation: The RadKULTUR initiative covers the participation fees and provides promotional materials and templates. The initiative’s goal is to encourage more people to use bicycles in their daily lives—for their own health and for environmentally friendly mobility. Through creative campaigns and events, it makes cycling visible, tangible, and appealing.
