But how is bicycle friendliness measured? Over a period of three months, from September to November 2024, cyclists were able to evaluate their satisfaction with regard to bike paths, security and cooperation in traffic. The ADFC captures these life-related feedback in order to coordinate traffic planning and political decisions to the needs of cyclists and to continuously improve the infrastructure.

The ADFC bicycle climate test 2024 is not just a snapshot, but a long-term project that has been carried out for the eleventh time. Not only the big cities play a role here. Baunatal, a city in Northern Hesse with 20,000 to 50,000 inhabitants, also secured first place in its category with an average grade of 2.53. This is now the fourth time in a row that the city shines with its advanced bicycle strategies.

• Frankfurt am Main: 1st place in the category big cities, average grade 3.49.
• Baunatal: 1st place in the medium -sized category category, average grade 2.53.

The satisfaction of the cyclists is certainly an important indicator. For the ranking, over 1,000 German municipalities reached the required minimum voting number. The survey expressly focuses on the opinions of active cyclists who provide valuable information on improving the quality of life in urban space. With the support of the Federal Ministry of Digital and Traffic from the national cycling plan, the ADFC is consolidated and strengthened in its mission.

If Frankfurt am Main and Baunatal act as role models, further cities could follow the example and further advance cycling in Germany.
