– Neatly packed and tied up, signature lists for the Bavarian Radentscheid changed hands yesterday in three town halls in the district.

In Hausham, Holzkirchen and Miesbach, the respective local representatives of the General German Bicycle Club (ADFC) handed over the declarations of support collected from mid-June to the end of October for a referendum that is intended to put the promotion of cycling in the Free State on a legal basis.

According to Kick van Walbeek, chairwoman of the ADFC Miesbach, 259 citizens in Miesbach, 180 in Holzkirchen and 81 in Hausham have signed for the demands of the Radentscheid alliance, to which the ADFC, Greens, SPD, ÖDP and Bund Naturschutz in Bayern have joined forces.

According to the press release, around 100,000 supporters have found their way across Bavaria - four times as many as would have been necessary for the approval of a referendum at the Ministry of the Interior.

Walbeek cannot say exactly how many came together in the Miesbach district.

"We didn't phone all the communities." At least in the district town, the quota was clearly exceeded.

In addition, around 200 signatures were received in the Holzkirchner office of the Greens member of the Bundestag Karl Bär.

Walbeek is convinced that this is evidence of a great deal of interest.

In the Hausham town hall, the ADFC representatives not only had the lists, but also a catalog of measures with them.

As Walbeek explains, this should be an impetus to found an AK Rad in Hausham as well and to think more specifically about improving the bicycle infrastructure.

The appointment was used to discuss this with Mayor Jens Zangenfeind.

The catalog itself is based on a version from 2013. However, Walbeek says that not much has to be revised.

"Not much has been done."
