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.

Start of the course cycleFIT: RadTUour

Mit dem Sommersemester 2026 ist die Lehrveranstaltung „cycleFIT: RadTUour“ erfolgreich gestartet.

The course “cycleFIT: RadTUour” has successfully launched in April 2026. The exercise is part of the FuTUre-Fit project cycleFIT and focuses on the practical analysis and further development of cycling infrastructure around TU Wien.

The course centers on the everyday travel routes of students and staff. Based on current mobility data, participants systematically examine selected cycling routes on site. Working in small groups, these routes are ridden, analyzed, and assessed using a structured evaluation framework. Key aspects include safety, comfort, attractiveness, directness, network connectivity, and cycling infrastructure. Following an introductory crash course on cycling planning, students develop a shared understanding of the evaluation criteria. A reference route is first analyzed to calibrate assessments before groups move on to independently evaluate additional routes. The results are documented, reflected upon, and presented in a poster session.

The course is open to students from all disciplines and requires no prior knowledge, only an interest in the topic and ideally access to a bicycle.
