As part of the city's "FahrRad in Aachen" campaign, the city of Aachen once again took part in the Climate Alliance's nationwide "City Cycling" campaign from June 1 to 21, 2025. This time, 3,289 participants from Aachen covered 684,503 kilometers in 197 teams and thus ensured that 112,000 kilograms less carbon dioxide were blown into the atmosphere.

On Monday, 8 December, Mayor Dr. Michael Ziemons welcomed around 320 people who had taken part in city cycling in the Coronation Hall of the town hall. He said: "You have all demonstrated the power of our city with your participation in city cycling. Even though I didn't officially take part this year, I cycle to work as often as I can and therefore know what a strong signal your commitment sends out. Your commitment motivates us to continue to make Aachen a city in which the bicycle is a natural and equal part of the mobility transition."
