Rally held promoting safe excursions for children under the Kidical Mass movement
On Sunday, September 21, 2025, the local Kidical Mass group will host a child-friendly bike demonstration in Bergisch Gladbach. The event, which starts at 2 PM, aims to promote safe walking and cycling paths and a bike- and child-friendly traffic design. The demonstration will take a round route through the city, with the starting and ending point at the industrial area of the former Zanders paper factory (An der Gohrsmühle). The police will accompany the event and secure the entire route, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants. At the end of the event, children will have the opportunity to spin a lucky wheel and win prizes that increase safety on their bikes. The ADFC Rhein-Berg will also be present, distributing balloons and children's warning vests. Kidical Mass Bergisch Gladbach has been advocating for better traffic safety for children and youth for many years. One of the organizers, Melanie Baierl, demands that every child in Bergisch Gladbach should be able to come to school safely and independently. The local Kidical Mass group has been active in the city for many years, advocating for safer traffic conditions for children and youth. They are also distributing a free newsletter, which can be ordered by those interested in staying updated on their activities. It's worth noting that the Schwerfelstraße in Refrath has been turned into a school street, and a one-year traffic trial of 'school streets' has started at the Grundschule In der Auen in Refrath. These initiatives are part of the city's ongoing efforts to create a safer and more child-friendly traffic environment. The Kidical Mass event is not the only event happening on September 21, 2025, in Bergisch Gladbach. The Harvest Festival of Sustainability by the Food Council Bergisches Land will also take place, offering a chance for locals to learn about sustainable living and enjoy local produce.
