Bergisch Gladbach Opens New Bike Lanes for Modern Mobility

Bergisch Gladbach has opened new bike lanes on Hasenweg and Nachtigallenstraße, with First Deputy Mayor Ragnar Migenda welcoming the move as a boost for modern mobility and climate change reduction. The lanes, part of the F2 route, allow cyclists to travel side by side at a maximum speed of 30 km/h, with all road users having right of way at intersections. Motorized traffic is permitted on the bike lane, but motorists must exercise caution and adapt to cyclists. Long-term parking is prohibited, but short stops are allowed if they do not hinder cyclists. The city plans to gradually expand its bike network in the coming years to make cycling more attractive, safer, and efficient. The bike lanes are subject to specific rules. Cyclists must adhere to the maximum speed limit of 30 km/h and respect the right of way at intersections. Motorists must take special care of cyclists and adapt to them on the bike lane. The city encourages all road users to follow these rules to ensure the safety and enjoyment of the bike lanes. The opening of the bike lanes on Hasenweg and Nachtigallenstraße marks an important step in Bergisch Gladbach's commitment to modern mobility and climate change reduction. With the city's plans to expand its bike network, cycling is set to become an increasingly attractive and safe option for residents and visitors alike.
