Christoph is a freelance IT consultant in Munich who gets around a lot. Congested streets, stuffy subway trains, delays. Not any more. He has started using a pedelec. The 31 year old sees his pedelec as both a company vehicle and as a piece of leisure and sport equipment.
Munich – Numbers, data facts
Munich has big plans. The city’s goal is to become Germany’s “cycling capital”. To achieve this, the Bavarian capital on the banks of the river Isar started a major campaign in 2010. Today, cyclist’s make up 18% of the city’s road users.
For that reason the city invested in the expansion, signposting and safety of bike paths. Today, Munich is the city with the longest network of dedicated cycle lanes in Germany.
The new version of a promotional programme for electro-mobility, “Munich e-mobile”, with a volume of 11.6 million Euros, has been applicable since January 2017. Thus, besides companies, even individuals now get a benefit for buying pedelecs or cargo bikes with electrical drives and for building charging stations.
