DORTMUND
BIKE TO SCHOOL GOES TO THE NEXT ROUND
It’s your time to shine again — the “Bike to School” campaign is starting. From May 6th to June 16th, 2024 you have the opportunity to cycle your way to school and win a cool reward for you and your school.
THE COMPETITION — HOW IT WORKS
As students from the 5th grade onwards, you can register via the city of Dortmund’s official cycling app “Bike Citizens” and compete for your school in teams of up to five members. As a team, you playfully collect points for your school in the app. The school ranking is new this year. You can follow the race for the main prizes live in a ranking on the website. It's worth taking part!

HOW TO WIN THE ICE CREAM TRUCK:
1. The teams get the most points for your school by cycling diligently every week and collecting point boosters through teamwork in the app.
2. You motivate the most classmates to take part in the campaign and win as the activist school with the most participants. Of course, we take your school size into account and look at the proportion of active participants.
If that's not motivation to put in the work!

But the cool reward is not the only advantage that the campaign brings: cycling in the fresh air is good for your health, promotes concentration and can reduce stress. The campaign is also good for the environment and the urban climate in Dortmund. This is how you stay fit, healthy and together contribute to a better quality of life in your city.

COLLECT BIKECOINS AND GET REWARDED
If you're already in the mood for an ice cream or want to be rewarded with a free drink for your bike rides, you can collect BikeCoins in the app. The coins are credited to the Bike Benefit account for everyday cycling trips. To do this, you have to register for Bike Benefit Dortmund in the Bike Citizens app and you can then redeem your coins for small gifts in Dortmund retailers. This means that every trip counts twice - once for the school team and also for each individual.
