Radlobby Austria

The Radlobby – The Austrian Cycling Advocacy Group, representing over 10,000 members, serves as the advocacy group for everyday cycling in Austria. Operating in all nine federal states, numerous regions, and countless municipalities, our organization is actively engaged at all political levels to ensure that cycling is both comfortable and safe. The broad involvement of volunteers ensures the presence of the Radlobby throughout Austria. Stakeholders in political and traffic planning decision-making processes value the Radlobby as a competent partner, appreciating our constructive and solution-oriented proposals to promote a sustainable design of cycling infrastructure.

Conducting ongoing successful nationwide campaigns, the Radlobby raises awareness of policy changes in transportation and consistently builds and maintains pressure to achieve lasting improvements in the sector. As a non-partisan, non-profit membership organization, the Radlobby primarily finances its work through member contributions, ensuring an independent and robust representation for cycling, free from partisan interests.

In addition to our national efforts, the Radlobby is a proud member of the European Cyclist Federation (ECF), further solidifying our commitment to fostering cycling-friendly policies not only at the national level but also within the broader European context. This affiliation positions us as an integral part of a European network of like-minded NGOs, enhancing our ability to advocate for cycling on an international scale.

By actively participating in political processes, Radlobby – The Austrian Cycling Advocacy Group makes a crucial contribution to creating more bicycle-friendly legal frameworks. For instance, Radlobby’s efforts in 2022 supported significant improvements for cyclists within the new Road Traffic Act (StVO). This underscores the Radlobby’s effectiveness as a propelling factor for sustainable and safe cycling development in Austria and beyond.
