As of today, the bicycle rental service metropolradruhr is available in Witten - with discounted conditions for all university members! This means that we can also take advantage of the largest bike rental system in the region here at a reasonable price. In Witten, more than 50 bicycles are available at ten stations, including the bicycle racks at Alfred-Herrhausen-Str. 48 and at the train station.

The following conditions apply to students and employees of Witten/Herdecke University:

• 30 free minutes per loan.
• Any further use will be charged at 1 € per 30 minutes.
• Discounts apply to one bike only.
• Reduced conditions apply in the metropolradruhr system (in other nextbike systems, the prime rate applies there).
• metropolradruhr users can rent bicycles in all participating cities and return them throughout the metropolradruhr area.

For the free registration https://secure.nextbike.net/mr/de/registrierung/ it is recommended to use the app of nextbike by TIER. Further steps are:

• Registration with the mail address "@uni-wh.de",
• select "Students and employees of Witten/Herdecke University" for partner options,
• Verify means of payment by creating a starting credit of 1 €.

Depending on the payment method, the account will be activated immediately or after 2 to 4 days.

By the way: There is a limited contingent of vouchers for externally arriving persons like speakers, lecturers or participants of events without a university e-mail address, with which the same conditions apply. If you are interested in this, please contact the Vernetzungsstelle Nachhaltigkeit at nachhaltigkeit@spam protectuni-wh.de.

The bike rental system metropolradruhr will be tested for a pilot phase of one year in Witten with the option to extend.

The metropolradruhr discounts are another building block of our mobility infrastructure and offers (eLastenrad, eCarsharing, 9-Euro-Ticket), with which we promote an uncomplicated use of more climate-friendly means of transport.
