Fahrradfahren in Oldenburg

In Oldenburg ist es grundsätzlich erlaubt trotz vorhandenem Radweg auf der Straße zu fahren, auf den meisten großen Straßen ist jedoch die Radwegnutzung Pflicht. Als Faustregel gilt: In 30er-Zonen (dazu gehört z. B. auch der Uhlhornsweg) gibt es keine Nutzungspflicht. Zudem zeigen die blauen Schilder mit einem Fahrrad an, wo auf dem Radweg gefahren werden muss.

Wie finanziert sich die Werkstatt?

Für die Fahrradselbsthilfewerkstatt wird mit der Einschreibung bzw. Rückmeldung ein eigener (zweckgebundener) Beitrag erhoben. Dieser beträgt 2,60 € pro Semester. Daraus werden die Kosten für das betreuende Personal, Verbrauchsmaterial, Werkzeug und Fixkosten (z.b. Telefon) bezahlt. Strom, Heizung, Müllentsorgung und Rauminstandhaltung werden von der Uni gestellt (großes Lob).

Warum ändern sich die Öffnungszeiten immer?

Cycling in Oldenburg

In Oldenburg it is generally permitted to cycle on the road even if there is a cycle path, but on most major roads the use of cycle paths is compulsory. As a rule of thumb: In 30 km/h zones (including Uhlhornsweg, for example) there is no obligation to use the cycle path. In addition, the blue signs with a bicycle indicate where the cycle path must be used.

How is the workshop financed?

A separate (dedicated) fee is charged for the bicycle self-help workshop upon enrolment or re-registration. This amounts to € 2.60 per semester. This is used to pay the costs for the supervising staff, consumables, tools and fixed costs (e.g. telephone). Electricity, heating, garbage disposal and room maintenance are provided by the university (big praise).

Why do the opening hours always change?

Because our lectures are always changing. The opening hours are set at the beginning of the semester and the lecture-free period. As soon as the times are fixed, they are published on our door, in central locations in the university and here on the Internet.

Lecture period:
We usually make our shift schedule and thus the opening hours for the current semester on the weekend after the first week of lectures, as experience has shown that some of our events are still rescheduled to other dates during the first week.

Lecture-free period:
For the semester break, the dates are usually made in the last week of lectures. In the first week of the vacation, however, the times of the previous semester sometimes still apply.

And otherwise:
We try to keep the opening hours as constant as possible from semester to semester, but unfortunately this is never completely successful. We are currently aiming for 8 shifts (1 shift = 4 hours) during the semester and 5-6 shifts per week during the vacations.
