Mainz (dpa / lrs) - overtaking ban for bicycles and mopeds, bicycle stations at train stations and lots of cycle paths: the trend towards bicycles and e-bikes, which has grown significantly during the corona pandemic, is challenging the five largest cities in Rhineland-Palatinate.

The share of the bicycle in traffic is to be increased everywhere, as a dpa survey showed.

Mainz, Ludwigshafen and Trier go beyond the state-wide target of 15 percent by 2030 set in the state government's cycle traffic development plan.

The target presented by the FDP-led Ministry of Transport is too low for the green coalition partner.

According to the General German Bicycle Club (ADFC), there is a lot of catching up to do.

There is still a lack of safe cycle paths in the country's cities.

Too many drivers park their vehicles on cycle paths and there is a lack of 30 km / h zones.
