Cycling through Bamberg: STADTRADELN kick-off tour sets a strong sign
On Monday, June 15, 2026, Bamberg will start the STADTRADELN 2026 with a special kick-off tour. From 4:30 PM, the community will meet at Maxplatz, where Mayor Sebastian M. Niedermaier and District Administrator Johannes Maciejonczyk will give the official start signal. Afterwards, the tour will roll to initiatives, workshops, and clubs that show how much volunteer energy revolves around cycling in the city and district.
A kick-off with tailwind and a clear message
The STADTRADELN will run in the city and district of Bamberg from June 15 to July 5, 2026, under the motto Together we can achieve more. The focus is on the 21-day action period during which as many kilometers as possible will be collected by bicycle. The kick-off tour connects movement, climate protection, and community life for a vibrant start to the campaign.
Stations full of commitment and cycling culture
The route will first lead to the Open Workshops of the Bicycle Liberation Front at Weide and to Freund statt fremd at the Lagarde site. There, it will become visible how versatile cycling culture is conceived and lived in Bamberg. Then, it continues to the Youth Traffic School, where traffic educators will present their work, before the ADFC provides insights into safety and practice with special cycling courses.
From the city center to the district
After the urban kick-off, the tour will proceed to Merkendorf. There, a refreshing stop awaits at the Hummel Brewery, before the cycling club Concordia Merkendorf 1909 e.V. presents its club activities. This combination of movement, community, and regional identity is what makes the appeal of the STADTRADELN start.
Maxplatz as a stage for stadium atmosphere on two wheels
Maxplatz is one of the most famous squares in Bamberg and provides the perfect setting for a public start signal with high visibility. Between the town hall, city center, and pedestrian zone, a different kind of stadium atmosphere is created: Fan chants replace the roar of the stands, but the tension of the playing field remains palpable. Those who are there live will experience how a cycling tour becomes a signal for climate protection, club work, and civic engagement.
Conclusion
The STADTRADELN kick-off tour promises an exhilarating mix of physical activity, local stories, and lived volunteer work. Anyone who wants to experience Bamberg on two wheels and does not want to miss the starting signal for three weeks full of kilometers, team spirit, and commitment should come to Maxplatz on June 15, 2026, and join the tour live.
