In May and June... let's Bike to Work
Do you force yourself to go to the gym after work? Don’t bother: When you go to work by bike you have already done your daily fitness routine – it’s healthy, affordable and really effective. What’s more, cyclists are in a good mood more often and can concentrate for longer, aside from the fact that they are protecting the environment and saving money at the same time. Dedicated cyclists would do well to welcome their uninitiated colleagues into the team.
WHAT IS BIKE TO WORK?
Bike to work is a Swiss wide health promotion campaign . Each year 54,000 commuters pedal to work by bike in May and June.Through bike to work about 1,800 companies strengthen their staff's team spirit and fitness, while supporting sustainable mobility practice.
HOW DOES BIKE TO WORK FUNCTION?
The staff of the company form teams of 4 and travel to work by bike as often as possible. They record online on the Challenge calendar the kilometres covered. Those who have biked to work on at least half of their workdays will take part in the raffle for prizes worth a total of over CHF 110,000.
ITU Staff who are acting as team leader for their Bike to Work team should register their team on the Bike to Work website under the company "Office des Nations Unies".
If you don't have a team, please contact ITU Mobility and we will help you find one.
