The eighth year of the faculty's May call Bike to work with us is over. We believe you enjoyed it. And we are also pleased that the number of participants is still growing. This is also thanks to the background and support that faculty offers to its employees. Whether it's secured bike racks, paid entry fees for all participants or small prizes for the teams with the most regularity or for those with the most miles per team member.
You rode, you walked and you ran with all your might. Sixteen teams competed in two disciplines and the result is respectable. A total of 11,519 km and a good dose of CO2 saved.
Team regularity
Performance per team member
The members of the Hrrrrr team – Dana Richterová (929 km / lap) and Petra Ježová (435 km / s) became the record holders in the green kilometers.
The celebration and announcement of results in the Academic Club was traditional. Cycling cake and champagne for all participants. And after the covid break, gifts for the winning teams.
We thank all the participants who contributed to the visibility of the issue of sustainable transport and did something for their health and fitness. Congratulations to the winners and we look forward to seeing you next year!
Detailed results and photos from this year can be found here (web page only in Czech).
In some parts of the city, it can be faster to ride a shared bike than to drive or take public transport. In Brno, these are areas like Nová Zbrojovka or Spielberg Office, where traffic is heavy and public transport accessibility is poor. Dr Ondřej Špetík from ECON MUNI talks about how Brno residents use the bike-sharing system in the following interview.
Fourteen courses at ECON MUNI will include sustainability and ecology topics starting next autumn. Marie Hladká, Vice-Dean for studies, explains what exactly the "greening" will involve and why it is an important part of university education.
