How do you cycle to the moon and back? The international bike community at Gebrüder Weiss set a new record in the GWcycles cycling campaign in 2024: 600 participants cycle a combined 810,000 kilometers and more – further than the distance to the moon and back. The GWcycles campaign covers a record distance of 810,000 km
What’s also gratifying is that each kilometer cycled supports climate protection. For the 2024 cycling season, Gebrüder Weiss will have 7,000 new trees planted in the company’s forests in Nicaragua. A total of 19,000 trees have been planted since the cycling challenge was first introduced in 2022. When they are fully grown, they will absorb around 285 tonnes of CO 2 from the atmosphere.
This demonstrates that bicycle mobility is becoming increas- ingly important at the company and among its employees. And justifiably so: cycling means health, joy in motion and climate protection.
The cycling campaign will be held again in 2025.
