New, fast routes for cycle commuters
Three commuter routes especially for cyclists connect the city of Bonn with places in the Rhein-Sieg district: Bornheim, Alfter, Swisttal, Meckenheim, Rheinbach.
The cycle commuter routes offer a safe route for cyclists. Together with the surrounding municipalities, the city of Bonn has improved the routing and clearly marked the fast everyday routes. This has resulted in user-friendly signposting for everyday cyclists in and out of the Bonn city area. All routes are marked on the ground with a red bicycle symbol and lead along existing cycle paths, country lanes and quiet side roads.
Route: from Rheinbach via Meckenheim, Röttgen, Ückesdorf and Lengsdorf to Bonn city center (marked in red on the map).
Route: from Rheinbach via Swisttal-Buschhoven, Alfter-Oedekoven to Dransdorf (marked orange on the map).
Route: from Bornheim via Alfter to Bonn (marked green on the map).
The Bornheim-Alfter-Bonn commuter cycle route is part of the "Emission-free city center" funding project. In this context, the cycle route on the right bank of the Rhine in the city from Rheinaustraße to Südbrücke was improved.

In order to strengthen the north-south and east-west axis for cyclists in the city and through the region, many measures are being planned, implemented and have already been completed. Read here.

Guide through town and country: NRW cycling network
The NRW cycle path network is marked with red and white signs.
To help you find your way or discover new connections, selected routes are equipped with signposts. The North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) cycle network connects all towns and municipalities throughout the state with standardized signposting. There are different routes depending on the route.
Red and white signage
All routes in this cycle path network are uniformly signposted - with red lettering on a white background.
Long-distance destination: At the top is an important, more distant destination, which is maintained over the entire connecting route.
Short-distance destination: Below this, the towns and villages in between are indicated as closer destinations.
Small symbols next to towns or villages indicate destinations such as railroad stations or cycle stations.
Between the locations with destination signposts, so-called intermediate signposts show the course of a route.
Tourist themed routes often run off the NRW cycle network and are marked with their own signage. However, if themed routes run parallel to the signposting network, their course is also marked - by means of so-called insert plaques.
Junction system of the Rhineland cycling region: Cycling by numbers
Cycle hubs supplement the North Rhine-Westphalia cycle network.
The junction system is a supplement to the red and white signposting that names destinations such as towns or a train station. The signpost locations are numbered by junction and provide good orientation - so you hardly need to use a map. Information boards regularly show the current location and the nearest honeycombs.
The overview maps show cyclists the location of all junction numbers. With the help of this map and the numbers, you can plan your individual tour: all you have to do is remember or make a note of the numbers along your tour route (for example 12 - 14 - 18) and cycle through the numbers one by one.
More and more people are using an e-bike to get around faster and cover longer distances. If you are out and about on an e-bike for longer, you need charging facilities in between. There are more and more e-bike charging stations in front of restaurants, museums, town halls and other attractive tourist locations.
In 2022, the city of Bonn created so-called "mobile stations" where e-bikes can be charged. Air pumps are also available here.
An overview of e-bike charging stations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland - online or as App at Smartphone - helps you plan longer bike tours.
