The demonstrators are calling for more environmentally friendly transport options.

Around 8,500 cyclists prevented motorists from using a stretch of Germany’s autobahn, during a protest calling for better public transport and cycle lanes.

The demonstration took place between Frankfurt and Wiesbaden – a distance of 40km (25 miles).

It was organised by Verkehrswende Hessen – a group seeking to make transport in the German state of Hesse climate-neutral by 2030.
