875 Kilometres to Work

Exercise pays off - in many ways. Since February, Christian Gösweiner has cycled 875 kilometres as part of the "Cycle to Work" campaign and won a new TU Graz bicycle. Austrians have already cycled more than 2.8 million kilometres to their place of work this year, both for the benefit of the environment and their own health, avoiding 450 tons of CO2 emissions. So far more than 23,000 registered participants have joined the "Cycle to Work" campaign , many of them from the Graz University of Technology. Christian Gösweiner from the Institute of Medical Engineering - one of many employees of the Graz University of Technology who have decided to go to work the ecological way - is one of the campaign prize winners. He is now the proud owner of the TU Graz bicycle donated by the Buildings and Technical Support Service Department as an extra incentive on top of the health benefit. But as the lucky winner recently bought a TU Graz bicycle, the real beneficiary of the prize is his girlfriend.
