Will be updated according to pandemic situation.
Due to the Coronavirus situation, we have decided to adjust the rules of the 10th year of Bike to Work in 2020, so that most of you could participate, even if you are not currently going to work. Your non-motorized routes (by bike, scooter, on foot…) can lead e.g. to nature or shopping, and you can even do a home workout (fitness, yoga…). It is mainly about the “regularity”, which is especially important at this time – for physical and mental condition.
To enter the “regularity category”, simply enter the number of kilometers without specifying the route or enter the number of minutes of excercise.
For the new “Performance for a Good Cause” category, you must record a route into the BtW system via one of the partner applications or by uploading a GPX file of any app.

The fastest way is to use the Cyclers or Na kole Prahou mobile applications. They are easy to use: At the beginning of your ride, you launch the application and at the destination simply send the recorded route to the Work to Bike system (you can “pause” the app so that you do not run out of time when you for example jump to the post office halfway during the ride). However, first you must connect the application with your BtW profile (it is done a little differently for each – see the instructions page – link below).
Instructions for connecting applications with Work to Bike
Still resisting smartphones or have another favorite app? It doesn’t matter, you can also fill in your routes manually in your web profile (system). How to do it?
If you have been exercising for at least 15 minutes, select the Heart / Dumbbell icon.
If you have been doing something else, select a corresponding icon:
For the Exercise icon, you can only enter the exercise time in minutes.
For non-motorized transport, first select how you want to enter the route, and then enter the time / kilometers / route. Input options are:
You do not enter any distance or route for other means of transport, illness or vacation.
If you have been excercising, e.g. 15 minutes at eight in the morning, fill in “15” in the box and click on the red “right” arrow in the Calendar (i.e. the equivalent of the way to work). And when you did one more excercise in the afternoon, e.g. 25 minutes at 4 pm, fill in “25” and click on the red “left” arrow (i.e. the equivalent of the way from work).
Be careful, if you want to achieve 100% regularity with exercise, you must fill in two at least 15-minute exercises a day (the equivalent of a trip to and from work).
Do the same for non-motorized transport: assign your route to a specific day and direction using the corresponding arrows.
In the case of other means of transport, illness or vacation, just click on a specific day and arrow(s).

If you have been participating in Bike to Work for more than 3 years, you certainly know this original way of recording.
