65,000 cyclists pedal their place of work during the "bike to work" campaign in May and June. This is a new record. 2114 companies participated and the distance traveled by bike was slightly less than 16 million kilometers.

The participating companies also took part in the campaign for two more months this year. 51% of them chose this variant, as announced Tuesday the Pro Velo organization. Significant growth of 26% was achieved compared to the previous year compared to the previous year.
On average, each participant traveled 247 kilometers to work for 19 days. The number of participants was particularly high in the conurbations of Zurich, Berne and Lausanne. This means that cycling in urban centers is both a way of life, an expression of will and pleasure, says Pro Velo.
"bike to work" aims to bring more exercise into everyday life. Anyone who takes the bike to work has already been part of the recommended movement. Health promotion in the company is also economically attractive because healthier employees are less successful and more efficient.
