GoGoVelo 2026 Campaign – Cycle to the moon

After last spring’s GoGoVELO campaign fell just short of reaching its “Ride me to the Moon” goal, despite 1,274 participants cycling a total of 379,466 km, the initiative is making another attempt to achieve the lunar distance this spring.

The mission is still called “Cycle to the Moon.” Together, all participants will attempt to cycle 384,400 km — the approximate distance between Earth and the Moon. A team competition is also still organised among Luxembourg’s secondary schools and our University.

The main goal of the GoGoVELO campaign — an initiative by ProVelo asbl and Klima-Bündnis Lëtzebuerg, supported by the Ministry of Mobility and Public Works — remains the same: to further promote and establish cycling as an everyday mode of transport.

All participants are encouraged to use their bicycles as often as possible for everyday transportation and leisure activities. Exciting challenges have been added to the campaign to maintain high motivation. Completing these challenges will qualify participants for a raffle with fantastic prizes. Prizes include free spa passes, various gift certificates, and a mini gold bar.

How to take part in the campaign?

1. You must download the “Radbonus II” application from the App Store or the Google Store.
2. Use the “GoGoVelo” access code.
3. Register with the “Université du Luxembourg” team (the last one on the selection page; you need to scroll down)

When registering, remember to join the University of Luxembourg team to compete with us. However, you will still be eligible for individual prizes.

All you had to do afterwards was launch the application using the track button while cycling.

Get your bike ready with our friends from d’Haus vum Vëlo located at the Belval train station; membership is free for students of the University of Luxembourg upon presentation of the student card.

If you have any further questions, please contact info@gogovelo.lu or unilu.sustainability@uni.lu.

From an individual perspective, the bike offers the following:

• A free, flexible, and comparatively fast way of getting around
• A more intensive and attentive perception of the surroundings
• Increased awareness of nature and landscape
• Promoting physical and mental health 

Positive facts about cycling:

• Climate: Using a bicycle instead of a car saves around 21 grams of CO2 per kilometre cycled
• Cities: Greater public safety, less time wasted in traffic jams, more car-free spaces and therefore more attractive city centres, a general reduction in noise in urban areas, are the positive effects in our cities and living spaces.
• Health: Regular cycling can help prevent cardiovascular disorders, with a risk reduction of up to 50% according to the World Health Organisation, as well as other physical and mental illnesses.
• Well-being: Cycling helps to reduce stress and has a calming effect on the body.
• Flexibility: It has been proven that cycling is no less effective than travelling by car or public transport over short to medium distances, and is often the fastest means of transportation to get from A to B.
