How #BahnLovesBike can become a reality until 2030 – Fahrrad und Bahnen sector initiative

Wednesday 10:00 – 11:15 am / Block Side Event

If you want to double rail use and meet climate change targets, you have to make the combination of bicycles and trains more attractive: Few other measures are suited to encourage people to switch to bicycles and trains as quickly or as comprehensively, especially for commuting. The Fahrrad und Bahnen sector initiative relies on 1 million bike racks, more than 100,000 sharing bikes, best app & web offers for routing and booking, attractive bike tickets for Germany and the optimization and expansion of ride-sharing. In this side forum, we want to present our transport policy proposal and discuss how we can make #BahnLovesBike possible by 2030.
