Cycling Spring and City Cycling 2026
The Trier-Saarburg district is launching the next round of STADTRADELN (City Cycling) in May. From May 10th to 30th, participants will once again be encouraged to cycle as many routes as possible and record them in a friendly competition. The focus is on fun, health, and team spirit.
The district and municipality of Konz would be delighted if you would join us again this year and diligently collect kilometers with your teams. Registration is now open. Simply under www.stadtradeln.de/landkreis-trier-saarburg Register, join the VG Konz team or create your own team.
New this year: The cycling spring
To get cycling going, the district, together with the city of Trier, is organizing the "Cycling Spring" for the first time this year. This offer is open to all cycling enthusiasts. Look forward to diverse tours that showcase how varied and attractive our region is from the saddle. Each tour has its own theme: family fun, culture, or exciting insights into the energy of the future. We'll cycle together in a relaxed group, taking responsibility for our own safety.
We would especially like to draw your attention to May 10th, when the City Cycling campaign will be launched at 11:00 a.m. at the Porta Nigra in Trier, followed by a choice of two tours. Come join us and let's send a strong message in support of cycling in our region!
