As of July 21, 2026: City
Launches New Cargo Bike Campaign
Reserve, unlock, and ride off to daycare, the supermarket, or just for fun. LaRa, the free cargo bike rental system, makes it possible. With the City of Aachen’s 25 cargo bikes, users can always get around town stress-free with their kids and all their gear. For more information, see the press release here.
It is impossible to imagine the city of Aachen without cargo bikes. The daily commute to work, picking up the children, the weekly shopping trip - all of this can be done together, even without a car.
Transporting children, weekly shopping and more - a cargo bike is the perfect solution for covering distances in the city comfortably and quickly. In order to give as many citizens as possible access to this practical means of transportation, the city of Aachen operates a free cargo bike rental service together with committed partners from the urban community. Families in Aachen receive financial support for the purchase of cargo bikes.
The city of Aachen supports families and single parents with children in switching from individual car use to low-emission mobility.
The city of Aachen maintains a free cargo bike rental service "LaRa" with various partners from the urban community.
Riding a cargo bike takes some getting used to and requires some practice. That's why the city's "FahrRad in Aachen" campaign offers free cycling courses.
