Let's respect each other, life is at stake!
We want to improve the safety of cyclists and motorists on the roads and encourage motorist to leave a gap of 1.5m when overtaking cyclists.

Why we do it?
Cycling is the most popular sporting activity for Czechs.
Cyclists are involved in 4000 accidents each year.
In European cities, the number of cyclists on the streets has as much as doubled during the coronavirus crisis.
Cyclists account for 30% of those hospitalized due to road accidents in the EU.
8% of the total number of people who die in road accidents in the EU each year are cyclists.
Leaving an insufficient gap when overtaking is one of the main causes of accidents
