cycleFIT is a project by TU Wien for TU Wien.

Together we are shaping a bike-friendly, healthy, and sustainable mobility culture on campus.

Many students, faculty members, and staff would like to commute to TU Wien by bicycle. However, missing parking facilities, uncertainties in the cycling network, or insufficient infrastructure often make this choice difficult. This is exactly where cycleFIT comes in: we identify and remove barriers, develop practical solutions, and integrate cycling structurally into everyday university life.

What is cycleFIT?

cycleFIT connects research, teaching, and university operations in a shared development process.

In the TU Wien Living Lab, we analyze existing conditions, map problem areas, develop prototypes, and test them directly on campus. At the same time, we connect relevant stakeholders and integrate cycling mobility into existing processes.

The project stands for:

  • sustainability and climate protection
  • promoting health in everyday life
  • collaborative development of the university
  • participation and co-creation

Get involved

cycleFIT thrives on participation. Students, academic staff, and employees contribute their perspectives through courses, workshops, events, and digital participation formats.

Together, we develop concrete solutions for a more bicycle-friendly TU Wien. Based on data, participatory processes, and close collaboration with key stakeholders, sustainable cycling mobility is gradually strengthened and embedded in everyday university life.

Our goal

We aim to strengthen cycling at the TU Wien by improving infrastructure, developing new services, and strategically integrating the topic into the university’s operations.

cycleFIT contributes to creating conditions that make cycling a practical and attractive mode of transport for students, academic staff, and employees. In doing so, the project supports climate-friendly mobility and contributes to the further development of the university as a responsible actor within the urban environment.

On April 21, 2026, the World Creativity and Innovation Day is celebrated worldwide, as it is every year. The day was recognized by the United Nations as an international observance highlighting the importance of creativity and innovation for sustainable development. It serves as a reminder that new ideas and unconventional approaches are key drivers in addressing societal challenges.

cycleFIT is also taking this opportunity to showcase creative approaches to mobility at TU Wien. As part of the event, cycleFIT invites participants to join a group bike ride:

For the bike tour, please bring a bicycle whether your own or a rented one. It is also possible to attend only the evening program.

3:30 PM Meeting point: Arrival at Karlsplatz 13 (Courtyard 1, access via Resselgasse)

At 4:00 PM, the ride starts at Karlsplatz and continues along Argentinierstraße to the Science Center. From 4:30 PM, participants will gain insights into research and infrastructure, including a guided tour of the large-scale laboratories at the Science Center.

At 5:30 PM, the group will ride back together to TU Wien. From 6:00 PM, the day will wind down at the cycleFIT stations in Courtyard 1 (or in the Prechtlsaal in case of bad weather). A highlight of the evening will be the performance by the Science Busters at 7:00 PM, before the event concludes around 8:00 PM.

Registration is required to participate.

We look forward to everyone who would like to join the ride!
