Munich Mobility Department invites public to Radl-Talk on who cycles and who does not

The City of Munich's Mobility Department is holding a public discussion on why some groups of people cycle less than others. The Radl-Talk takes place on Tuesday, 10 November, at 6pm in the city library in the Motorama, Rosenheimer Straße 30-32.

Studies show that people in different social groups and milieus use bicycles to differing degrees, and that some groups now cycle even less than they did a few years ago. This was also examined in the research project "Radklusion – Social participation through cycling". The panel will discuss why this is happening, how the trend can be countered in Munich, and what the city is already doing.

The speakers are Britta Coy, who set up the project "JUNO – a voice for refugee women" at the Association for Women's Interests, which among other things offers free cycling courses for women; Kerstin Langer, head of the communications and public participation unit at the Mobility Department, who will report on the city's work to promote cycling for everyone; and PD Dr Monika Popp, a senior academic in the Department of Geography at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, whose research includes the "RadAktiv" project on why people do not cycle.

The discussion will be moderated by David Roth of experience consulting GmbH. Afterwards, members of the audience can ask questions and make suggestions. No registration is required.

The Radl-Talk is a dialogue series run by the Mobility Department, giving interested members of the public the chance to exchange views on various topics with experts and representatives of the city administration.

The venue is on the ground floor and is step-free. An accessible toilet is available.
