Last year, 8,800 people took part in the challenge “To work by bike” organized by the Strasbourg Eurometropolis. This operation sees associations, communities and businesses compete for several weeks in June to make as many kilometers as possible by bike. 970,000 kilometers had been covered.
Competition becomes cross-border
This year, the competition will be even tougher since it opens at the Strasbourg-Ortenau Eurodistrict, a grouping of French and German municipalities on both sides of the Rhine which includes the 61 municipalities of the Eurometropolis of Strasbourg and the Canton of Erstein as well as the 51 municipalities of Ortenaukreis.
