Bike to School
The Bike to School Challenge runs from May 1 to 31 as part of the May Challenge. The goal is to motivate as many students as possible to use a bicycle, scooter, or any sustainable transportation around the city, including running and walking. The AutoMat association organizes the event. We support the participation of students and teachers with a 60% discount on the participation fee.
Who is the Bike to School Challenge intended for?
The Bike to School Challenge is a nationwide challenge for students aged 16 and over and their teachers. Younger students can participate with parental consent. It is a team challenge for anyone who forms a team of at least two and a maximum of five members and regularly commutes to school by bike, scooter, walk, or run with their classmates during May.
How to participate in the May challenge?
1. Get a discount
Regardless of age, participants of the Bike to School event can apply for a discount voucher using this form (it is sufficient if one representative fills out the form for the school). We will get back to you, confirm the information, and issue you a voucher for a 60% discount on the entry fee. Simply enter the voucher code when registering for the May Bike to Work, Walk or Jog Challenge.
There are two options: if the school pays the participation fee for students and teachers, simply check the “School pays for me” box during the payment step during registration, and you will automatically receive a discount (new 60% for school employees as well).
2. Register for the challenge
Each participant will create a profile in our system. You will apply the discount code and join tens of thousands of active people from all over the country who are transporting sustainably around their city or between cities throughout May.
3. Wear a participant t-shirt and enjoy the T-shirt Promotion
As part of the registration for the May Challenge, you can choose whether and what kind of participant t-shirt you want. In addition to the t-shirt from 2025 and 2024, you can also choose socks. With the t-shirt, socks, or by showing the application, you can take advantage of the T-shirt Promotion, interesting offers, and discounts offered by our local partners in participating cities. At the same time, enjoy the good feeling of participating in supporting the development of cycling infrastructure in your city.
4. Ride, walk or run
For the whole month, ride to and from school, to the cafe or to visit by bike, scooter, skates, wheelchair, longboard or walk or run. You can combine the methods listed as you wish during the challenge.
For example, you can ride a bike on Monday and Wednesday, walk on Tuesday, run on Thursday and arrive on a longboard on Friday.
5. Record your trips, follow the performance of others and win interesting prizes
Record your trips in the system where you registered. Thanks to this, you can monitor the percentage of regularity of both yourself and the entire team, as well as the kilometers you have already accumulated. In each city, we draw winners of interesting prizes from the teams that have achieved more than 66.6% regularity.
Do you want to involve under 16s?
For the involvement of students under the age of 16, we recommend obtaining written parental consent. This is mainly about compliance with the GDPR law. Male and female students should report to Do práce na bike, where basic personal data must be entered, with the knowledge of a legal representative.
