On Tuesday, 29 April 2025, the Lübeck campus was all about sustainable mobility. The very first Bicycle Action Day, organised by University Sports Lübeck, took place in beautiful spring weather and created a lively, welcoming atmosphere. Numerous students took the opportunity to learn more about cycling, participate in hands-on activities, and enjoy the day together.

With bright sunshine and pleasant temperatures, the central square on campus was transformed into a vibrant event space. The various activity stations proved especially popular. At the bike check-up and repair station, participants could have minor issues fixed on the spot, while the professional bike cleaning station by Muc-Off left many bicycles looking as good as new. Those looking to improve their riding comfort were able to take advantage of a professional bike fitting service, offered by Techniker Krankenkasse, to have their bicycles ergonomically adjusted. Information stands and interactive activities completed the programme and invited visitors to get involved.
Snacks and music added to the relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. 

Katrin Bührmann, Head of University Sports Lübeck, was delighted with the event's success:"We are thrilled that so many people joined us and that our very first Bicycle Action Day was so well received. It clearly shows that cycling plays an important role in the everyday lives of many of our students."
The Bicycle Action Day was not only a successful debut but also a strong statement in support of environmentally friendly mobility, bringing together sustainability, community, and plenty of sunshine.
We would like to sincerely thank all exhibitors and partners for their valuable support and are already looking forward to next year's event.

A special thank you goes to the University of Lübeck, especially the Green Office and Health Management Team, as well as the Technical University of Applied Sciences Lübeck and the AStA Sports Department for their support and cooperation.

Anyone who has now been inspired to become more active can already look forward to the next sporting highlight: the University Run is just around the corner and welcomes runners of all fitness levels to take part together.
