Procedure details

The promotion of cycling is a priority of Bavarian transport policy. Everyday cycling in particular must be intensified. The bicycle is often the best means of transportation for commuting to work or the train station - without traffic jams and parking problems. There is also potential in delivery traffic: with and without electric support, cargo bikes are particularly interesting for the "last mile".

With the Bavarian Cycling Act (BayRadG), the Free State of Bavaria has created a solid basis for further promoting cycling. Among other things, it focuses on high levels of investment and subsidies for the construction of cycle paths, the design of a cycle network for everyday traffic that connects all towns and municipalities in the state and support for local authorities in the construction of bicycle parking facilities at train stations and stops. The aim is to build 1,500 kilometers of new cycle paths by 2030.

Only those who feel safe enjoy cycling. Considerate interaction between all road users makes a significant contribution to road safety. With its road safety program "Bayern mobil - sicher ans Ziel", the Free State of Bavaria is focusing on cyclists and other vulnerable road users.

  • Bicycle; information on technical safety
