Stadtradeln – cycling for the climate

As in previous years, Oberursel is taking part in the annual “Stadtradeln” campaign to get as many members of the public to leave their cars behind and use a bicycle instead.

Between 2nd and 22nd June, 2014, teams in the town will be trying to ride as many kilometres as possible, at the same time trying to beat the 2013 total of 44.641km.

One local politician and Green Party member, Peter Matthäy, has gone a step further and handed over the keys to his car for the next three weeks, ensuring that it is his bicycle that takes him everywhere during that time.
