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.

June 3 – Bicycle Day at TU Wien

On June 3, 2026, TU Wien will be all about cycling: cycleFIT invites students and staff at all locations to a diverse action day focused on sustainable mobility. Take part in our challenges now!

Bicycle Day at TU Wien

[Translate to English:]

On June 3, 2026, TU Wien will be all about cycling. As part of cycleFIT, the “Bicycle Day” is used to increase the visibility of cycling on campus and actively promote sustainable mobility. Students and staff are invited to take part in a wide range of activities, workshops, and hands-on offers at all TU locations.

The day starts with a special incentive for all cyclists: anyone arriving by bike will receive a breakfast package (while supplies last). After that, participants can look forward to a diverse program with numerous stations and activities. These include customizing your bike with cycleFIT stickers as part of “cycleFIT ready,” a cycling quiz at the Gußhaus location, an ergonomic cycling workshop, and a cargo bike obstacle course organized by HTU, which playfully challenges skills and riding technique. Additional interactive stations around cycling and sustainable mobility complement the program.

Beyond the fun aspect, the focus is also on information and awareness: cycleFIT aims to strengthen the understanding of climate-friendly mobility and show how easily everyday life can be organized by bike.

The day concludes with an evening event at Hof 1 at Karlsplatz. Visitors can look forward to a relaxed atmosphere with music, drinks provided by the student representatives (Fachschaft Raum), and an award ceremony for the various activities and challenges.

The first participation challenges are already live: take part in the TU Bike Rally, “Show Your Bike,” or help identify abandoned bicycles on campus. All information about the program and participation can be found here.

With Bicycle Day, TU Wien sends a clear signal in favor of sustainable mobility and invites the entire university community to take part and rediscover the bicycle as an everyday means of transport.
