ADFC-Fahrradklima-Test
Is cycling in your city fun or stressful? From September 1 to November 30, 2024, cyclists in Germany can once again rate how bicycle-friendly their cities and municipalities are.
Real-life feedback from everyday experts for infrastructure planners and political decision-makers: In the ADFC-Fahrradklima-Test, participants rate local cycling conditions and provide useful information that municipalities can use to make targeted improvements to their infrastructure. The results also help to evaluate the success of local cycling initiatives.
The ADFC-Fahrradklima-Test is one of the largest surveys on the cycling climate worldwide and will take place for the eleventh time in 2024. The Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport is funding the ADFC-Fahrradklima-Test from funds for the implementation of the National Cycling Plan.
The results of the ADFC-Fahrradklima-Test help cities and municipalities to determine their bicycle friendliness. The results are a guide for local authorities. They can draw comparisons to other places, identify their strengths and weaknesses and take targeted measures to further improve local cycling conditions. With the help of the questionnaire, cyclists can express their opinion about "fun or stress" in traffic in their place of residence. They rate how positive or negative they find various aspects of cycling. The questions concern safety and comfort when cycling, the infrastructure and the extent to which cycling is promoted locally. Participants in the ADFC Cycling Climate Test also answer whether bicycles can be parked safely in public spaces, how bicycle transport works on local public transport and whether cycling is promoted in their municipalities.
The ADFC-Fahrradklima-Test 2022 has once again broken all previous participation records. According to the latest intermediate numbers almost 230,000 citizens took part in evaluating more than 1,000 towns and cities.
