Imagine a city with efficient public transport, an extensive network of safe sidewalks and cycle paths, streets full of green spaces and public spaces that are aesthetically pleasing and supportive of the community.
That’s the vision of the 12th annual national Bike to Work campaign, which aims to motivate cities, businesses and individuals to prioritise cycling, walking and public transport over the car.
Why get involved?
✔ FOR YOUR OWN RESOURCE – Biking and walking are the best cure for today’s less active lifestyles.
✔ FOR A BETTER CITY FOR ALL – Cleaner air, quieter and safer streets and less traffic congestion.
✔ FOR OUR PLANET – Our home is suffocating, our home is boiling. Start with yourself and do your bit to save the world.
✔ FOR YOUR FAMILY BUDGET – Use the money you save on your car more efficiently. A car isn’t just about filling it up. Not just a new car, but a used car costs money, repairs or insurance will be needed.
How can you get involved?
From April 1 to June 7, 2025, create a team of 2-4 employees from your company, institution or organization. Sign up at www.dopracenabicykli.eu and commute to work by bike, foot or public transport in June. Keep track of your rides on our platform and see how you do!
We are competing for great prizes!
Every year we bring new challenges and bonuses. In 2025, we’ve teamed up with our partners to offer lots of valuable prizes that will motivate you to leave your car at home every day. Sunshine or rain! ;)
Who is behind the project?
The main promoter is the national bike coordinator Peter Klučka and the Ministry of Transport of the Slovak Republic. The organization and professional guarantee is provided by Občianska cykloiniciatíva Banská Bystrica.
Small steps, big changes!
It is obvious that cities where more people cycle, walk or use public transport are more pleasant to live in and their inhabitants enjoy better physical and mental health. Even car drivers benefit – less congestion means faster journeys for everyone!
These changes are happening across Europe and Slovakia must not be left behind!
Join the Cycle to Work 2025 campaign and be part of the change for the better! Change that comes from below, from citizens who want better cities to live in.
