Bike to Work
The aim of the challenge is to popularize the topic of personal sustainable transport, draw attention to its ecological, health and economic advantages and make it easier for people to integrate non-motorised transport into their everyday life. At the same time, we are building and developing a community of people who are not indifferent to what is happening around them. The challenge is not about the number of kilometers, but about changes in traffic habits – the main category is the regularity of the team.
Schedule of the year:
January Challenge: 15-21 1. 2024 (registration from December)
May challenge: 1.-31. 2024 (registration from February 1, 2024)
September call: two weeks in September 2024 (registration from the end of August 2024)
Thanks to the recording of participants’ routes via mobile applications, we obtain unique anonymized data on the movement of people on bicycles and on foot in Czech cities. This data can be used by cities to identify where cyclists and pedestrians actually move and where there are places where the infrastructure does not meet the purposes of safe and pleasant movement around the city. The participant of the challenge can thus contribute to the development of the city and movement through it, which has an impact on the development of safe and comfortable (bicycle) transport.
We know that even one month without using a car can significantly contribute to improving the condition, health and mood of the participants, help build team spirit and a good atmosphere in the company, and definitely contribute to a healthier city, in which it is easier to breathe. One month can also lead to a habit for the following months.
