Munich mobility cargo bike visits Isar hotspots to ease tensions between cyclists and pedestrians

The City of Munich's Mobility Department is taking its colourful cargo bike to three locations near the Isar in September as part of a campaign to reduce conflicts between pedestrians and cyclists. The sites were chosen because clashes and complaints from residents keep recurring there.

The cargo bike will be at Reichenbachbrücke on Wednesday 16 September, at Thalkirchner Platz on Thursday 17 September and at Wittelsbacherbrücke, by the kiosk, on Friday 18 September. On each day it will be there from 1pm to 7pm.

The campaign, called "Travelling together with heart", aims to build more understanding and consideration in everyday encounters on the move and so improve road safety for everyone.

Under the slogan "Hand on heart: how considerate are you?", residents are being encouraged to reflect on their own behaviour. Staff will also explain traffic rules and why using the roads calls for constant care and mutual consideration.
