STADTRADELN campaign: Bocholt cycles twelve times around the world

Bocholt reports its best overall result to date in the nationwide "STADTRADELN" competition: 472,611 bike kilometers were collected by 1,879 registered participants during the campaign period May 1-21. "A fabulously great result! That's almost 20 percent more kilometers than last year and corresponds to almost 12 circumnavigations of the earth," Bocholt's city planning officer Daniel Zöhler is pleased with the result of the 5th participation in the city comparison.

This puts Bocholt in first place in the category of German medium-sized cities with up to 99,000 inhabitants - at least for the time being. The results of STADTRADELN will not be finalized until the fall, when all municipalities have reported their results. Only then will it be clear which municipalities are among the top performers in Germany and the rest of the country.

In Bocholt, "Team Kampert" was the most diligent with 837 km per person, followed by Team "BrueBo" with 753 km/per person and "Hofmeier on Tour" with 711 km/per person. However, it was not only these cyclists who contributed to the city's success, but also the many people who made their everyday journeys by bicycle or who were on the move with muscle power on two or three wheels in their free time, emphasizes environmental officer Angela Theurich with regard to the evaluation.

"A very big thank you goes to all participants who pedaled hard for Bocholt," says Theurich. Soon the winners will be chosen, because all Bocholt active participants could expect attractive prizes, handed out by the well-known Bocholt company ROSE Bikes.
