Cycling is good both for you and the environment. And it will particularly pay off in May and June when “Bike to Work” will also be offering attractive prizes for all frequent cyclists to win.
The external page Bike to Work Challenge offers an opportunity to become active together with others, to integrate more exercise into everyday life and to motivate and support each other.
What it’s all about
With Bike to Work, four people each form a team and regularly cycle to work in the months of May and June. It makes no difference whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or getting your bike out of the cellar again for the first time in ten years. The important thing is to have fun and to motivate one another in the team, as the team of four will collect “bike days” for each work journey made by bike. All participants who cycle the whole (or part) of their way to work on at least 50% of their working days will be entered in the individual prize draw at the end of the challenge. Additional team prizes will be drawn among all teams of four in which every member fulfils this 50% challenge.
How it works
It’s easy to take part in the Bike to Work Challenge:
- Log in online at external page biketowork.ch or via the external page Bike to Work app and select “ETH Zurich” as company.
- Here you will see which ETH teams of four already exist, which teams still have free places, or you can create your own team.
- The challenge starts on 1 May 2024. Collect bike days within the team and enter them in the calendar. You can enter your private cycle journeys (e.g. to do grocery shopping) on days when you work from home.
- The winners will be announced on 9 July 2024.
Have fun!
