How do I take part?
Get together with your workmates and form a team of 3-6 people. Give your team a name and choose a Team Captain. Your Team Captain will be the main point of contact for your team and will help to keep the team motivated! Then you’ll need to register your team online.
How to register teams?
Each member of your team will need to register an Active Travel Logger account, visit
www.cyclechallenge.ie . Don’t forget to enter your details in the ‘cycle challenge’ tab and click save!
If you previously participated in a Smarter Travel Workplaces Challenge you can login using your existing de-tails.
Each team member on the team will need to record their journeys online; you can do this every day or record all your trips at the end of each week. Please remember to enter your journeys online at least once a week. Please note that you will only be able to ‘back log’ journeys for up to one week.
What happens when the challenge begins?
Once the Challenge begins on the 7th of May, you will need to start making cycle trips over 10 minutes in length, every journey over 10 minutes in length gives you 1 point (even a journey of 60 minutes will still give you 1 point so it’s about accumulating lots of journeys).
Remember 1 trip = 1 point and you get bonus points for cycling to and from work and for work related trips! If you are a new cyclist and you make over 30 journeys during the challenge you will be awarded 10 bonus points at the end of the challenge.
What counts as a trip?
A trip is a journey taken on a bicycle (not in a gym!), Dublin bikes, electric bikes and fleet bikes are all ok!
Each journey must be at least 10 minutes to count as a trip.
If you have any questions about the Challenge, please visit the FAQ’s on
