STADTRADELN

What are the benefits of participating?

There are several advantages to cycling. First of all, you are travelling in a climate-friendly way and thus contributing to a healthier environment and a healthier planet. In addition, you can even save time within the city (anyone who has ever travelled by car or bus through the rush hour traffic in Saarbrücken knows what this means) and you are of course also being active on every journey and thus promoting your own health.

In order to support our university and have your kilometres recorded, you must first register for the university team here:

Registration STADTRADELN 2025

And this is what you can expect:

• Breakfast bags for cyclists
  Cyclists who cycle up to the university on 27 May 2025 (from around 7:45 a.m.) will be rewarded with a ‘cyclist's breakfast bag’. It doesn't matter where you cycle up to the campus, we will be waiting for you at each of the main entrances!
  (Please note: The breakfast bags will only be handed out while stocks last).
   
• Bicycle repair tent
  Do you want to get your bike in shape for STADTRADELN and the summer?
  On 27.05.2025 you can get your bikes ready for STADTRADELN at the AC Wiese from 10:00 a.m - 2:00 p.m. There will be active support from ADFC Saar.
   
• Bicycle coding
  The ADFC Saar offers all interested parties the opportunity to have their own bike coded (for a small fee) on the campaign day and thus better protect it from theft.
  How does it work? Simply fill out the form and bring it along with your ID card to the coding stand on the day of the event.
  Would you prefer to come with an appointment? No problem! Then book your preferred time via the ADFC website (as soon as the date is listed there). You can also find more information about coding and the costs there.
   
• Energy bike simulator
  How much electricity does a light bulb actually need? And how much electrical power is needed to charge a smartphone or get a washing machine running? Not so easy to answer... How about simply experiencing it for yourself? You can do just that on the energy bikes from our health partner Die Techniker.
   
• Grillbike of the Studierendenwerk
  The Grillbike of the Studierendenwerk provides all hungry cyclists with delicious vegan and non-vegan sausages from 11:30 a.m to 1:30 p.m.
   
• Cargo & fun bike test opportunity
  Would you like to try out a cargo bike or have a go on a fun bike? You have the opportunity with us. Come along and try it out!
   
• Many other activities are currently being planned. These will be published here one by one.
