CO2 savings

Cycling boom helps protect the climate

In no other federal state are so many journeys made by bike as in Vorarlberg; in total, Vorarlbergers cover so many kilometers on their bikes every day that they could circle the globe 19 times.

The fact that Vorarlberg is a cycling state is also shown by the fact that eight out of ten households own a roadworthy bike. The enthusiasm for cycling can be explained not least by the fact that distances in the state are generally very short: Every third everyday journey is shorter than two and a half kilometers, six out of ten everyday journeys are shorter than five kilometers and three quarters are shorter than ten kilometers, as a recent analysis by Verkehrsclub Österreich (VCÖ) shows.

Savings for the environment
The pedal riders from the Ländle not only support their health and save money on fuel with their sportiness, they also make a contribution to climate protection: 50,000 tons of CO2 are avoided every year because the bike is preferred to the car!
