Dear cyclists and pedal enthusiasts, hold on to your helmets – Graz is launching a major campaign with the Bike Offensive 2030 to revolutionize everyday traffic and plans to put the city on two wheels like never before! But don’t worry, this isn’t just a series of boring gap closures in the bike path network. No, this is a systematic, well-conceived effort with a wink toward the future. Why? Because Graz wants to be a true pioneer in bike traffic.
What exactly is behind the Bike Offensive 2030?
By 2030, the capital of Styria aims to create many new bike kilometers and thoroughly revamp the existing network. It’s not just about improving individual routes. Graz will become a city that makes cycling a genuine alternative – safe, comfortable, and simply attractive.
- New bike paths: Kilometers of attractive and safe bike lanes that better connect the city districts.
