Bike to Work Challenge 2025
What can we do every day to reduce our carbon footprint and cut CO2 emissions? Ride your bike to work more often!
Once again this year, from May through June, the motto at BLACKROLL® was: Bike to Work! In this health and cycling promotion campaign in Switzerland, over 100,000 employees compete against each other in a challenge, diligently racking up kilometers and pedaling away. Together for greater sustainability. More biking, less driving!
True to our company motto, “DO IT YOUR HEALTH,” we at BLACKROLL® wanted to put the mindset we live by every day to the test in this challenge. And we succeeded! A total of 40 employees took part in the challenge, divided into 10 teams. Come rain or shine, they pedaled hard. The result? Record numbers for BLACKROLL® in the history of “Bike to Work”! In total, we covered over 12,000 km, saving 1,809 kg of CO2! Impressive: 3,931 companies from Switzerland took part in the challenge, with 108,945 participants covering over 29,180,331 kilometers —enough to circle the globe 728 times!
Compared to last year, these figures represent enormous growth in the number of participants, kilometers traveled, and the resulting reduction in CO2 emissions.
In between, there were internal recovery sessions as well as a “bike-to-work” brunch to refresh tired legs and recharge everyone’s batteries.
To optimally manage the daily kilometers in the saddle, we were provided with pre- and post-ride routines within our teams. A game-changer: Upon arriving home in the evening, most of us started by using a foam roller and then slipped into our COMPRESSION BOOTS to ensure optimal muscle recovery.
Exercises for Cycling
Our endurance fitness team demonstrated great team spirit, and our teams helped reduce CO2 emissions every day. We’re already looking forward to next year’s Bike to Work Challenge 2026, when we’ll once again set new standards in sustainable mobility!
