Since September 1, 2026, the German Cyclists\u2019 Association (ADFC) has been running its 12th Bicycle Climate Test (“Fahrradklima-Test”)<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text css=””]As one of the largest cycling friendliness surveys worldwide, it provides vital momentum for the transition to sustainable transport and enhanced safety in cycling mobility. To ensure robust data on mobility behavior and infrastructure, the ADFC<\/strong><\/a> regularly collaborates with scientific partners and the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV)<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This year, the research team at eye square<\/a><\/strong> is proud to support the organization with our standardized market research settings, contributing to the methodological design, questionnaire optimization, and professional analysis of the massive volume of expected data.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

What is the Experience of Cycling Like for Individuals in Their Region, Village or City?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text css=””]The core question of the survey<\/a><\/strong> is simple: How do people experience cycling in their local areas? The survey gives cyclists and municipalities across Germany the opportunity to evaluate local cycling conditions. In 2026, the test places a special emphasis on the quality and safety of cycling infrastructure. People who cycle daily to work, school, or for shopping know exactly where the paths are safe and pleasant, and where the major bottlenecks are.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Three Polls for a Clearer Picture and Children and Young People Are a Priority in This Year’s Survey<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text css=””]A key innovation this year turns the spotlight on the younger generation. For the first time, the ADFC is explicitly focusing on the perspectives of children and teenagers. This age group will be asked about their specific cycling habits and needs to help design safer routes to schools and recreational activities. To provide a comprehensive picture, the 2026 test comprises three separate surveys: one for adults, one for children and teenagers, and one for municipalities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Data for a Safer Cycling Experience: How Citizen Feedback Shapes the Future of Cycling<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15″][vc_column_text css=””]The insights generated from this data will directly benefit urban planners and local governments. Cities and municipalities can benchmark their performance against others, identify strengths, and address specific weaknesses. For the ADFC, the results provide a powerful foundation for engaging with local and state politicians. Incorporating citizens’ feedback into regional planning is crucial, particularly in rural areas, where expanding cycling infrastructure forms a cornerstone for social participation, public health, and climate protection.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”center” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1787219991469{padding-top: 35px !important;padding-right: 35px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 35px !important;background-color: #DFE1F2 !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
