May 2026 by bike

Vie du labo

From May 1 to 31, 2026, the CNRS and the University of Lille are once again taking part in the “Mai à vélo” challenge. All staff and research personnel are invited to join or rejoin the various communities (CNRS and/or U-Lille) on the Geovelo app and participate in this event.

Join the 2026 edition of the “May by Bike” challenge and rack up as many kilometers as possible on your daily trips!

The goal of this challenge is to collectively cycle as many kilometers as possible during the month of May, on all your daily trips: from home to work, to appointments, or just to get some fresh air...  with the option to join multiple different communities, even if they are two employer communities.

For example: a research staff member can join their lab’s community + their affiliated university + the CNRS.

The challenge is open to everyone, regardless of your skill level—whether you’re a student or staff member, just getting back into cycling, or an experienced rider!

How to sign up? 

  • Join or rejoin the University community here and/or the CNRS community here by signing up on Geovelo.
  • Your kilometers will be counted toward all the teams you’re affiliated with.
  • Download the Geovelo app on your phone and start pedaling to rack up those kilometers!
