Already now share of cyclists in total traffic in Garching is 31 percent. If it goes to city Council, it should be increased to 2030 to 40 percent. To this end, city plans a plethora of improvements for cyclists, up to specification in newly planned area of communication zone, to give cyclists a preference for drivers. At a local appointment with representatives of "Association of Cycling-friendly municipalities in Bavaria" (AGFK) se plans arrived well. The jury advocated to include Garching in circle of certified cities and municipalities. After Ismaning, university town is second municipality in district, which can officially be called bicycle friendly.

The Coburg District Administrator Michael Busch was also able to feel that traffic in metropolitan area of Munich is a very special topic. Although deputy chairman of AGFK had scheduled an additional hour for Monday morning traffic on motorway, it was still too late. He heard with astonishment that garching 712 bicycle parking spaces in centre, 526 of which were covered. In rural areas re is rar less need for pitches, he noted that here municipalities are more likely to be on move than motivators. In Garching, however, need for good Radwegverbindungen is clearly present, precisely because re is often no progress on roads. The city responds to this.

The Garching bicycle commissioner, SPD alderman Rudi Naisar, presented, toger with members of administration, planned and already made improvements. In total, company intends to invest 2.9 million euros this year, and in next years, 2,450,000 would take over city itself, although some 1.7 million euros are also planned by federal government. "The rest are carried by companies," reported Naisar, who said that many were very open-minded. For example, BMW, Swiss Life, Voith and business campus have made a number of efforts to create covered bike racks and also offer changing cabins with showers for cyclists. Naisar has also converted sum that Garching has planned in household to 18 000 inhabitants of city: that is 133 euros per garching.

The planned cycle routes include, for example, expansion of a field route from business campus towards Unterschleißheim, extension of cycle path from Munich to Dirnismaning, where Garching is still "on green light from Munich", as building manager Klaus Zettl explained, a cycle path without previous swerve to Dietersheim, a bicycle road from Schleißheimer Road to lake, a safe cycle route from Hochbrück to Garching and a bicycle route connected with one-way regulations for cars at B 471.

The jury will examine suitability of everyday

Here, Naisar remarked, in his opinion, re will be considerable problems in implementation of this piece, which is also planned for first Radschnellweg in district, because re are many trucks from company premises. Jury member Martin Singer of Supreme Construction Authority made proposal to try this solution for a year and to accompany project, while jury member Robert Burschik of ADFC München said he warns "against short-term attempts" as it Road users. He recommended that or possibilities be explored. In spring 2018, nine stations with 75 bicycles will also be set up in Hochbrück, Garching and research campus, taking into account all three subway stations.

Erwin Huber, CSU member of Landtag and chairman of jury, praised Garching for his commitment. The jury is more likely to check suitability of bicycle infrastructure and not for family outings. He personally is particularly about connection of several modes of transport, said Huber, i.e. interfaces between cycle paths and subway. Garching presented a conclusive concept. With pride, Mayor Dietmar Gruchmann (SPD) acknowledged unanimous vote. "This shows that we are doing a good job in garching and as a climate-friendly municipality are on right bike-friendly path." Joy also expressed Rudi Naisar, who stressed: "We have a lot in pipeline. We have to deliver now. "
