It’s great you are here! We're glad you're going to join ABC 2024. So don't forget, USB will be participating in the challenge in JUNE 2024.
The Academic Bicycle Challenge is a cycling competition for universities and higher education institutions around the world that not only helps to raise the international prestige of participating universities but most importantly promotes a healthy lifestyle. (RULES)
Throughout the month, we can give a chance to MOVING, RESTORING HEALTH and THE ENVIRONMENT, RELAXING and what's more – HELPING PEOPLE AND FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN WITH AUTISM. All mileage counts and will support the overall USB result, whether you ride your bike for fun or any other reason.
What’s new in ABC 2024?
Great prizes
USB CYCLING JERSEYS from KALAS during the competition – for the first 60 riders (30 women and 30 men) who cover 150 km (details in the rules below)
The best riders (male and female), and the best team will be announced as the main winners of ABC 2024, and we have prepared cool gifts for them:
- MASSAGE AND HEALTH PARAMETER MEASUREMENT VOUCHERS for the winning riders of ABC 2024
- INBODY DIAGNOSTICS for the winning team
- CYCLING TROPHIES
- PACKAGE OF PRACTICAL CYCLING ITEMS for riding including travel first aid kit. And if that's still not enough, we will also add something GREAT TO DRINK (a pack of Budvar and Čtyrák beer)
Calling all students!
STUDENTS! Your participation is also important to us, get involved and take the chance to beat your professors 😊. We have a personal challenge prepared for you by the USB Rector – if the student team wins, they will get a 'KEG' of BEER (more in the rules below)
Changes in USB rules
- The most important new addition to the rules for the ABC Challenge 2024 is that all riders will log in to Naviki via UNIVERSITY EMAIL (if you already have an account, the email can be easily changed).
- Teams: this year we would like to keep the teams as balanced as possible, so we’d like to ask you to form teams with as many members as possible (maximum 25 riders). Teams can be made up of riders from different departments, areas, types of study or faculties. Please challenge your colleagues and friends and join forces for a good cause.
- The TEAM NAME must be entered to best represent the faculty, USB unit or group (see rules below for details).
RULES SUMMARY, DETAILS FOR TEAMS – ENTERING NAMES
A sincere thank you to our partners for their support: BUDVAR, ČEZ, ČSOB, KALAS
Let's not forget that South Bohemia is a place that holds true love for all categories of bicycle touring. There is an extensive network of marked cycle paths and České Budějovice, an active cycling city, views nature protection as a matter of great importance. The University of South Bohemia is part of it all and we are ready to show our activity to the whole world.
