Bringázz a munkába! Hungary is cycling to work
The Hungarian bike to work campaign has been relaunched in 2018 after a short break in the past few years. Now the campaign has been fitted with the Bike Citizens app, with which participant can win prizes just by logging into the app and cycling at least 50% of their individual work days to work.
The bicycle motivation campaign now has a fresh new start in Hungary. The bike to work campaign Bam! (Bringázz a munkába!) has been successfully implemented for several years already. Since May 14th commuters are cordially invited to complete their daily way to work by bike and participate in the bike to work campaign which lasts until June 10th.
This environmentally friendly and healthy performance should not stay unrewarded. In addition to the opportunity to compete with other cities, companies and teams during the campaign, there are also great prizes to win in the two lotteries at the end of May and in the middle of June.
But beware: The prizes are drawn amongst participants, that cycled in teams of 2 to 4 team members. A second requirement is, that the whole team cycled at least 50% of the working days in the drawing focus time range. These rides must be tracked with the Bike Citizens app. Thanks to great sponsors, there are many attractive prizes to win such as various bike accessories, food and accommodation vouchers and last but not least a bicycle!
