School cycling 2024

School cycling is the little sister of "CITY CYCLING" and will take place from 8 to 28 June. Under the motto "Cycle for 3 weeks, score 3 times: for your school, for your city, your district and for the record target of 3,000,000 kilometres", the "School Cycling" competition was launched in Hesse at the beginning of May.

In the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg, it takes place at the same time as the CITY CYCLING event. School cycling uses the same platform as CITY CYCLING (registration, etc.). During the three-week campaign period, pupils, their parents and teachers should cycle as many kilometres as possible for "their" school.

The aim of the school competition is to make pupils fit for cycling in everyday life and in their leisure time and thus to promote the independent mobility of children and young people. Teachers and parents also support the school teams by cycling kilometres. This means that children can simply leave their car or parents' taxi behind and arrive at their destination by bicycle. Cycling is also active climate protection and good for your health.
