BOKU Mobility4Health – Mobile bicycle check at Türkenschanze

As part of the BOKUMobility4Health project, a bicycle repair workshop and a mobile bicycle check took place at Türkenschanze on October 28–29, 2026.

A sincere thank you at this point to our great bicycle mechanic Kevin (https://mobilerfahrradcheck.at/) and his colleague Luis for repairing 36 bicycles of BOKU employees!

BOKUMobility4Health is a cooperation between the Institute for Transport Studies (Sandra Wegener) and the Employee Protection & Health Unit Kirsten Sleytr and was funded by the Austrian Health Promotion Fund (FGÖ).

The aim was to link corporate mobility management and workplace health promotion and to raise awareness of the importance of active mobility (walking and cycling) as an important part of promoting physical activity.

In addition to the bicycle repair workshop and the mobile bicycle check, which were offered several times during the project duration (03/2025 – 10/2026), other actions and activities also took place, e.g., cyclist breakfast, street-space bicycle training, guided walk (with Eugen Quinn from whoosh https://whoosh.wien/), video with role models.

May the spark catch on at BOKU – for more visibility and support for cyclists and pedestrians, and thus for sustainable and health-promoting mobility on the commuting journey.
