In the heart of Bremen, cyclists participated in a unique event as part of the city's cycling event. The ADFC, the German Cyclists' Association, organised a bike protest under the motto "Let's go! Now's the time to hop on a bike". The protest aimed to demand better conditions for cyclists in the city, following Bremen's recent loss of its status as the most bike-friendly city in Germany.
The bike procession, which started at Tiefer/Altenwall around 11:00 AM, was led by Jan Duda, an initiator of the protest action affiliated with Bremen's ADFC. The 20-kilometre long route highlighted the inconvenience faced by cyclists compared to cars in the city centre. The procession included some of Bremen's major traffic arteries, such as the Breitenweg high street near the main station, the B6 towards the A27 motorway, and passed by the Stern.
Despite affecting busy thoroughfares, the police did not expect major disruptions to car traffic. The bike procession ended at a family-friendly pace at the Bike IT! Festival on Stephanikirchenweide in Überseestadt.
The Bike IT! Festival, the final day of a three-week city cycling event and climate protection action, focuses on bike culture, sustainable mobility, and urban development for two days. Lars Schmidt, chairman of the ADFC Bremen, invited all Bremen residents to join the protest, and several hundred participants responded to the call.
The ADFC is demanding more space and more safety for cyclists in Bremen. The bike procession served as a demonstration for these demands, showcasing the need for improvements in the city's cycling infrastructure. The event concluded at the Bike IT! Festival, where attendees could celebrate bike culture, learn about sustainable mobility solutions, and discuss urban development plans.
