New records set at City Cycling 2026

This year’s ‘Stadtradeln’ event in Beckum has come to a successful conclusion. From 9 to 29 May, a total of 1,034 active cyclists in 71 teams pedalled for climate protection and sustainable mobility in Beckum.

The event kicked off with a cycle rally to Ennigerloh. In glorious weather, a number of residents from Beckum also cycled the roughly 20-kilometre route together. A cycling experience zone then awaited all participants in Ennigerloh’s market square.

And so, after three weeks of ‘Stadtradeln’, here are the results: The most active teams in Beckum were the team from the Albertus-Magnus-Gymnasium, which clocked up a whopping 14,760 kilometres, followed by the All Heil Beckum cycling club, which cycled 11,307 kilometres, and the team from the Sonnenschule, which clocked up 11,258 kilometres.

Together, the participants cycled 202,854 kilometres, putting them in first place in the Warendorf district. This resulted in a calculated saving of around 33 tonnes of CO₂ compared with using a car. The Warendorf district also recorded more kilometres cycled than ever before. In total, the participants covered more than 1.43 million kilometres. The campaign has thus once again demonstrated the important contribution that cycling can make to climate protection, health and a liveable city.

The lucky winners of the prizes have now been drawn in Beckum. The prize-giving ceremony will take place on 16 July at 11.00 am at Beckum Town Hall. The winners will be notified in advance by email.

The coordinators for the town of Beckum, Denise Grünebaum and Lena Herzog, would like to thank all participants, supporters and the organisations involved for their efforts, and are already looking forward to the next ‘Stadtradeln’ event.
