Person cycled an impressive 48,000 kilometers in support of climate action
Neustadt, a city in Holstein, recently hosted its annual 'Stadtradeln' action, a three-week community event promoting sustainable mobility and climate protection. The 2025 event, which ran from June 1 to 21, saw the participation of 274 cyclists who collectively covered an impressive 48,145 kilometers[1][2].
This year's 'Stadtradeln' action in Neustadt marked another successful chapter in the city's ongoing commitment to this initiative, which began in 2018. The event's organizational management has been in the capable hands of Sustainability Manager Lina Sophie Koop since 2020[1].
The 'Stadtradeln' action in Neustadt not only showcases the fun of sustainable mobility but also underscores the potential contribution of each individual to climate protection. By choosing to cycle instead of travel by car, the participants saved an estimated eight tons of CO2 emissions[1][2].
The city's efforts did not go unnoticed, as Neustadt ranked second among eleven participating municipalities in the Ostholstein district[1]. The event fostered engagement from citizens and local teams, with recognition given for cycling achievements such as most kilometers ridden or most trips per capita.
The 'Stadtradeln' action in Neustadt continues to grow in participation and impact, blending environmental benefits with public involvement. Mark your calendars, as the next event is scheduled for May 31 to June 20, 2026[1].
