Trampled, underlined, added up. The next year of the faculty's challange Bike to work is at the finish line, and we thank everyone who joined it.
We are very pleased that the number of participants is growing every year, and with them the interest and attention paid to sustainable transport. And that is also thanks to the background and support that ESF MU offers. Whether it's secure bike racks, paid entry fees, prizes for the winning teams or a closing party for all involved.
The numbers are again astounding: twelve teams, 51 participants, 9,075 kilometers collected and 1,136 kg CO2 saved.

Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone who is part of the To work by bike challenge and is doing their part to help make cities and nature healthier. We hope you enjoyed an active month with the challenge, as well as the closing party, and that you will continue to stay with motorless transport.
We look forward to seeing you next year!
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.
