The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness of cycling as an everyday means of transport and to set a positive example. According to meinzirk.at, the action is carried out for the seventh time and is enjoyed by a loyal fan base.

"All of Carinthia should cycle!", The Tourist Council Council calls Sebastian Schuschnig and emphasizes the immense potential that cycling for the federal state offers. In addition, the state government is investing more than six million euros in the improvement and expansion of the cycle path network. The aim is to integrate cycling more into the Carinthian mobility offer and thus reduce climate -damaging emissions.

Mayor Challenge and prices in focus

It becomes particularly exciting in June when the "Mayor Challenge" takes place. Community board members are called up to ride a bike to work on many days. Defending champion Vice Mayor Stefan Burger from Reißeck takes this challenge very seriously. As an incentive, gratifying prices, including helmets, bicycle locks, e-bikes and folding bikes-there are even bicycle storage facilities and bike service stations for the most eager communities and companies.

The campaign is organized by the “currently” association and has a track record: Last year, around 2,300 people took part and, together, astonishing 1.96 million kilometers. A gratifying development that with a wealth of events such as "By bike to work!" and a “target sprint” will continue to be promoted in September to promote the mobility transition.

Master plan Radmobility Carinthia 2023

A central component for the mobility transition in Carinthia is the master plan "Radmobility Carinthia 2023". This strategic document, which was created this year, has set itself the goal of significantly increasing the proportion of cycling in overall traffic. In addition to an increase in security, initiatives to reduce climate -damaging emissions, such as CO2 and fine dust, ensure cyclists: Inside, the health of the population is promoted by more cycling. All of this is also linked to the improvement of the existing cycle path network. VCOO.AT shows how important the structural changes are not only to make Carinthia attractive for commuters and tourists.

Carinthia is not only a beautiful holiday country, but could also establish itself as a real cyclist paradise. The motto is called until September: cycling for a better climate - every kilometer counts!
