Did you know Škoda started out as a bike manufacturer way back in 1895? We’ve come a long way since then, but we’ve never lost our love of two wheels as well as four.
Whether for leisure or on the professional circuit, Škoda is a big supporter of cycling – and you can keep up with the latest news on our dedicated website, We Love Cycling.
As the UK’s most decorated Paralympian prepared for her 9th games in Paris, we caught up with Dame Sarah Storey in our latest issue of the DRIVEN newsletter: Cycling Edit. Oh, and if you haven’t already, sign up to our DRIVEN newsletter for more stories from a whole host of guest editors.
For over 20 years now, if you’ve caught even a glimpse of the Tour de France you’ll have seen Škodas in action. As the official main partner and car supplier we provide a fleet of cars to keep the race on the road. Cars include the Race Director’s mobile command centre as well as support vehicles operating as workshops on wheels.
As soon as the Tour de France Femmes was introduced in 2022, Škoda naturally became the official main partner. The race goes from strength to strength and the 2025 edition was extended to nine days.
Did you know that while almost eight million women own bikes in the UK, only four million ride them regularly? That’s why Škoda launched the #RideWithMe Strava challenge. And what a success it was! All over the country women saddled up to join friends old and new for the sheer joy of cycling together. One August event was in London’s Regent Park. Take a look at this video and be inspired: cycling is for everyone!
