The city of Hof once again successfully took part in the nationwide "City Cycling" campaign during the campaign period from June 9 to 29, 2024. A total of 22 teams took part with an impressive 494 active cyclists, who together covered 122,551 kilometers. This enabled 20 tons of CO₂ emissions to be avoided this year.

At the award ceremony, Angela Bier, Mayor of the city of Hof, paid tribute to the achievements of all participants: "We invited all the winners today to honor their commitment. I am delighted that so many people took part again. A total of 494 active cyclists have set a great example for climate protection and cycling. I hope that we can build on such strong participation again next year."
