Bike to Work 2026: What If This Year You Made the Switch to an E-Bike?
The national Bike to Work challenge has officially kicked off across Switzerland!
Every year, this initiative organised by PRO VELO Switzerland encourages thousands of employees to cycle to work throughout May and June.
The goal?
Get moving, reduce your environmental footprint, strengthen team spirit… and turn your daily commute into something you actually enjoy.
Why Is Bike to Work Such a Hit?
The challenge keeps growing in Switzerland — and for good reason. Bike to Work brings together several very real benefits:
improving your health and building physical activity into your daily routine;
reducing traffic and commute-related emissions;
boosting morale and team spirit within companies;
rediscovering your city from a whole new perspective.
Every year, participants clock millions of kilometres on their bikes commuting to and from work, actively contributing to more sustainable mobility.
E-Bikes Are a Complete Game-Changer
Many people still hesitate to cycle to work — but over the past few years, e-bikes have completely transformed the way people get around.
Hills, long distances, tiredness, or a tight schedule: an electric bike makes the daily commute accessible to almost everyone.
This is especially true around Lake Geneva, where urban journeys are often short but heavily affected by traffic. Between Geneva, Lausanne, and the surrounding areas, more and more commuters are choosing the e-bike as a genuine alternative to the car.
Try an E-Bike During Bike to Work
At Bicy.ch, we offer a simple solution so you can take part in the challenge without having to buy a bike.
You can subscribe to a Bicy plan specifically for the duration of Bike to Work, with a flexible, all-inclusive package:

It's the perfect way to try out an e-bike for a few weeks and discover a new way of getting around every day.
Simpler, More Flexible Mobility
At Bicy.ch, our goal is to make sustainable mobility accessible to everyone.
With our e-bike subscriptions, you no longer need to worry about:
maintenance;
repairs;
or a large upfront investment.
The idea is straightforward: let everyone ride with ease and enjoy the benefits of an electric bike, with no strings attached.
The Perfect Time to Give It a Go
Bike to Work is probably the best time of year to take the plunge.
The challenge creates a real collective energy within companies and motivates a lot of people to try cycling for the first time. And once the habit sticks… it's hard to go back.
With the warmer days just around the corner, it's also the ideal opportunity to discover a way of getting around that's:
faster in the city;
more enjoyable;
more sustainable;
and often far less stressful than sitting in traffic.
Ready to Join In?
The Bike to Work challenge runs throughout May and June across Switzerland. Companies and employees can create their teams and track their kilometres directly through the official PRO VELO Switzerland platform.
