The number of road deaths in Germany has been falling for years. At the same time, the risks faced by cyclists are shifting. According to Destatis, one in six road deaths in 2024 involved a cyclist. 441 people lost their lives in 2024, and almost half of them were riding a bicycle with an assisting motor.
In the coming years, transport policy will need to focus primarily on areas where road traffic risks are particularly high. For safe cycling, physically separated and well-maintained cycle paths are key.
