A little nod to its long-standing partnership with the Tour de France, Škoda integrates bike lanes into the famous playmat.
After all, why shouldn’t our children’s bedroom carpets evolve the same way as the roads and streets we travel every day by car or bike? With “The Road For Everyone,” Škoda offers the first car playmat to incorporate bike lanes. An intelligent and fun way to raise awareness among young children about sharing the road. This friendly initiative was developed in collaboration with the French Cycling Federation.
While cycling has been steadily growing in popularity in France over the past several years, coexistence between drivers and cyclists remains a generally problematic issue. Tensions are shared, as many drivers still do not understand that the road is not exclusively theirs, while a multitude of cyclists neglect the most basic rules of the traffic code. Add to this the fact that city officials are determined to create cycle paths against the flow of traffic in streets where cars already struggle to pass, and the situation is reaching a breaking point. In short, there is still work to do!
To Play Smartly
Looking at this educational playmat, one might think there is hope. Perhaps future generations will teach us the right habits and behaviors. Those who have already been reprimanded by children for bad driving behavior or for letting out a swear word will understand. Similarly, a cyclist who sees a child glaring at them because they refused priority at a crosswalk probably doesn’t feel very proud.
This “The Road For Everyone” game box is the perfect opportunity to bring parents and children together for an enjoyable role-playing game to relearn how to coexist on the road. Plus, you’ll have a good time! The kit includes the playmat, a miniature car and bike, and a family reading booklet. The box will be available from June 5th, and the first 400 copies can be won on the Skoda website. The playmat will also be available at all dealerships across France. So thank you and well done, Škoda!
