The third year of the largest cycling festival of the year, Prague Bike Fest, will welcome visitors at the Exhibition Grounds on the weekend of April 26-27, 2025, once again in the open-air zone on Brussels Road and the adjacent meadows, as well as in the Křižík Pavilions. Two days dedicated to cycling, adrenaline, exhibitions, workshops, as well as organized rides with famous athletes, races, or bike testing, along with a gastronomic section featuring plenty of savory and sweet treats, as well as a wide range of beverages, this is Prague Bike Fest 2025. Visitors can try out dozens of bikes during testing, as well as purchase or just look at the latest products and cycling accessories at this unique fair. Like every year, this year will also include a section of the fair dedicated to children, for whom a children's testing circuit will be prepared under the guidance of instructors from Trail Guide. For those who prefer adrenaline, the Big Air show led by Teodor Kovács and other well-known local and foreign riders is a must-see. And watch out – this year, men will compete in a unique race for prize money of 100,000 CZK as part of the Big Air Eliminator. In the middle of Brussels Road, at heights of up to 7 meters, the athletes will showcase their toughest tricks, such as double-backflip, frontflip nohand, or a 720-degree spin. The main partner of Prague Bike Fest is Sazka, and the event partners are Škoda Auto, Pražská plynárenská, LIDL, and foodora.
FOR ENTHUSIASTS AND RECREATIONAL CYCLISTS
A rich program awaits visitors not only in the outdoor areas but also in the pavilions, which will provide a comfortable setting for showcasing the latest equipment from the world of cycling, with the opportunity to try out selected pieces on-site. Those who prefer a relaxed atmosphere with a drink and good food are warmly invited to the main stage by the Křižík Fountain, where travel presentations, interviews, and discussions on topics such as safety and electromobility will take place.
"Prague Bike Fest has settled at the Exhibition Grounds beyond our expectations, and it is gratifying to see that today this cycling fair is essentially the largest of its kind in Prague and the Czech Republic. Whatever happens at the Exhibition Grounds, we always strive to ensure that the program is designed for all age categories, and in the case of PBF, for everyone regardless of whether they ride professionally or recreationally on an electric bike. This year's edition will also bring an interesting novelty, namely a competition for a relatively large sum of money, which, I believe, with its attractiveness, where we can see the top of the Czech and international cycling scene flying at incredible heights, will attract not only traditional adrenaline lovers," comments Tomas Hübl, Chairman of the Board of the Exhibition Grounds Prague, a.s.
NEW FOR 2025 – BIG AIR ELIMINATOR FOR PRIZE MONEY OF 100K
The unique freestyle mountain bike race Big Air Eliminator will be one of the main adrenaline attractions this year, where riders will compete for one hundred thousand crowns. This is a unique format where the top of the Czech and European cycling scene will compete in pairs. The Saturday qualification will involve 30 invited riders, each having two rides, both of which will be rated by a jury, but only the better one will count.
FAIR
The cycling fair is one of the main pillars of the festival. It is a place where sellers and manufacturers of cycling equipment meet not only with their customers but also among themselves for mutual inspiration. At Prague Bike Fest, you can look forward to dozens of exhibitors and hundreds of brands – from renowned Czech and foreign brands to those that are just establishing themselves in the market.
ADRENALINE ON BRUSSELS ROAD
"Big Air – the most visited program point with a monumental zone will be elevated to a new level at this year's Prague Bike Fest. The competition will be really fierce, as some prominent foreign names have promised their participation. I can't wait for the last weekend of April when we can showcase all the new tricks we've been preparing over the winter right in the center of Prague at the Exhibition Grounds. I believe the event will have an unforgettable atmosphere. Come support us," invites Teodor Kovács, ambassador of Prague Bike Fest. Workshops will take place both days outside of exhibition times.
WHAT WILL THIS YEAR BRING?
FIXED GEAR RACE
On Saturday evening, a Fixed Gear Race will take place on a closed track for bike testing. This is a race intended for fans of riding single-speed bikes, who will compete on a short circuit full of turns, slaloms, and other elements that ensure that the riders never stray far from each other, providing spectators with a very attractive viewing experience full of twists.
TRIAL ZONE
The trial zone under the guidance of Bike O'clock – Damjan Siriški and Ondřej Šenk must not be missing either. Trial is a discipline where riders at low speeds try to overcome artificially created obstacles, and spectators can watch the riders as they jump on high stairs, drop down, balance on the front or rear wheel, perform various spins, and other tricks. The zone consists of various obstacles suitable for trial, such as picnic tables or pyramids.
FESTIVAL RIDES
Festival rides are very popular. Group rides outside the festival grounds will always have the goal of returning to the Exhibition Grounds, and in this case, there will also be an instructor. There are no restrictions on what kind of bike to arrive on; everyone is welcome – whether on road bikes or mountain bikes. Because the main thing is to meet while enjoying sports! The rides will be organized by partners BIKES ON FILM, SKI & BIKE CENTRUM RADOTÍN, and M1 PROJECT.
PRAGUE BIKE FEST STAGE
The festival will be accompanied by a program on the main stage, consisting of travel presentations, panel discussions, video screenings, nutritional advice, and interviews with professionals. The main stage will be located near the Křižík Fountain and will welcome interesting guests throughout the day during the entire weekend.
SAZKA GRAND BMX 2025 AT PRAGUE BIKE FEST
This year's edition of SAZKA GRAND BMX 2025 will take place at Prague Bike Fest, and visitors have a lot to look forward to! A double mini ramp will host the top of the Czech freestyle BMX community, as well as a world-first – a modular BMX pump track made from upcycled losing lottery tickets from Sazka. Two tons of tickets were used for its development and production. Following the Sazka Kickz sneakers, modular furniture, and rePuk, the pump track is another upcycled product created within the reLosy platform. Sazka gives old winning and unsold tickets a second life and brings them back into play. Visit the popular SAZKA pump track and try riding on new Rock Machine mountain bikes – for free!
More about the program will be gradually revealed before the event itself.
KIDS' SKILLS CENTER BY TRAIL GUIDE
The zone will consist of several different tracks with artificial obstacles, where children will be able to hone their cycling skills under the guidance of experienced instructors, just like in previous years.
What can children look forward to?
- The entire zone will be designed as an educational MTB zone for children with 30-minute time blocks for instruction, during which children will go through all the stations.
- There will be three stations with different types of obstacles (mini jump; bumps as terrain irregularities, etc.).
- At each station, there will be a Trail Guide instructor who will teach the children how to properly and safely overcome the obstacle.
- 30-minute blocks will always start on the hour and half-hour; the first block will start at 10:30 AM.
To make it fun for the children, they will receive a card at the beginning, which instructors will fill out at each station, and upon completing all stations, they will receive a medal. The card will also go into a draw for small prizes.
TESTING
Are you looking for a new bike before the season? The Prague Bike Fest offers you a unique opportunity to try out the latest bike models. Whether you are looking for a new road bike and need to find the right size, or you are choosing a mountain bike and want to test new suspension, you will find everything in one place – in our testing zone. Several closed circuits will be prepared within the Exhibition Grounds for all testers, complemented by the option to venture out with a test bike beyond the grounds.
NOTE: A personal helmet is mandatory!
"Prague Bike Fest is moving forward every year, and we are pleased that it has become an indispensable part of the cycling community. It is a weekend full of testing, adrenaline, inspiration, and meeting people united by a love for cycling. In the third year, we will once again welcome top brands, a packed accompanying program, and above all, a great atmosphere. The Exhibition Grounds Prague is the ideal place for an event where everyone can find their niche – whether it's a thrilling descent, a family ride, or a chat with professionals. We are already looking forward to what the next edition will bring," adds Daniel Netušil, program director of the Exhibition Grounds Prague.
And what next?
- Presentation of the most interesting cycling news and accessories from Czech and foreign brands.
- Loan and testing of bikes in all categories, including electric bikes.
- The Big Air show race for prize money, where riders will fly up to 7 meters above the ground.

In addition to the competition and exhibitions, there will also be an autograph session with the riders.
- Under the guidance of experienced cycling instructors from Trail-Guide, a track full of small obstacles and slaloms will be prepared for children within the children's skill zone.
- An interesting event will be the Fixed Gear Race, a race on single-speed bikes. Competitors will race on a short circuit full of turns, slaloms, and other elements that ensure that riders never stray far from each other.
This unique event in the Czech Republic, with its focus and diversity, is intended not only for cyclists and cycling enthusiasts but for anyone who enjoys watching a proper show, relaxing in the park in the pleasant company of family or friends, learning about new products in the bike or electric bike market, listening to interesting presentations, or enjoying something good to eat and drink. The ideal means of transport to the event is, of course, a bike.
Prague Bike Fest maintains its quality, energy, and unique atmosphere this year as well. A new feature is the adjusted division of responsibilities among festival partners.
The organization of the 3rd year of Prague Bike Fest is once again ensured by MVP s.r.o. and Exhibition Grounds Prague a.s. Both co-production partners continue to work closely together on the overall concept of the festival and its program offerings.
This year, there has been an adjustment in the division of responsibilities: the Exhibition Grounds Prague will now provide not only the marketing communication of the festival, as has been the case in previous years, but also the production of the event, which was previously managed by MVP. This step is the result of a mutual agreement and aims to further strengthen the organization of the event.
The main partner of Prague Bike Fest is Sazka, and the event partners are Škoda Auto, Pražská plynárenská, LIDL, and foodora. A big thank you goes to all partners for their financial support of the event.
