===Bicycle===

Like most German cities, Leipzig has a traffic layout designed to be [[bicycle-friendly]]. There is an extensive cycle network. In most of the one-way central streets, cyclists are explicitly allowed to cycle both ways. A few cycle paths have been built or declared since 1990. According to the data from the 2021/22 [[traffic count]], [[the Saxons' Bridge]] has the highest traffic occupancy with over 15,000 cyclists per day in cycling in Leipzig.<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Am Willy-Brandt-Platz und auf der Sachsenbrücke ist am meisten los |journal=[[Leipziger Volkszeitung]] |last=Puppe |first=Matthias |language=de |issue=257 |volume=130 |pages=18 |date=2023-11-04 |url=https://www.lvz.de/lokales/leipzig/strassenverkehr-in-leipzig-in-diesen-strassen-gibt-es-die-meisten-pkw-lkw-und-fahrraeder-ABPZZKUEXBG3PFSURQFQR7PJ5U.html |access-date=6 November 2023 |archive-date=5 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231105153731/https://www.lvz.de/lokales/leipzig/strassenverkehr-in-leipzig-in-diesen-strassen-gibt-es-die-meisten-pkw-lkw-und-fahrraeder-ABPZZKUEXBG3PFSURQFQR7PJ5U.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Since 2004 there is a [[bicycle-sharing system]]. Bikes can be borrowed and returned via smartphone app or by telephone. Since 2018, the system has enabled flexible borrowing and returning of bicycles in the inner city; in this zone, bicycles can be handed in and borrowed from almost any street corner. Outside these zones, there are stations where the bikes are waiting. The current locations of the bikes can be seen via the app. There are cooperation offers with the Leipzig public transport companies and car sharing in order to offer as complete a mobility chain as possible.
