I like to say that I come “from the Uherské Hradiště area” or “ from Moravian Slovakia”, because the village of Pašovice is only known to a privileged few. For 15 years, however, I have been a proud citizen of Brno. For years, I have been singing in a party band, I spent my free time with my nose stick inside a book and sport was never a viable option for me. In PE, I always remained the last one when the captains picked members of their teams and cricket-ball throwing still haunts me in my sleep. It doesn’t mean I did not like to move, but I preferred climbing trees and wandering in the countryside, rather than doing collective sports or running in a stadium.

My consistently built lazy girl image was substantially damaged six years ago, when I bought a footbike called Yedoo City. I was basically forced to do it, because in summer Brno plunged into reconstruction and repair chaos that resulted in me not being able to get to work otherwise than on my own. And with first kicks I discovered a whole new world. I learned that there are even bigger footbikes, the possibilities of trips, the existence of clubs and also races and challenges. And very soon I joined the ranks of a local group of footbike enthusiasts called BKG, completed my first 100km trip in a day, and in 2020 I finished the Across the Czech republic race (in 2021 I even emerged victorious). More long distance races and other crossings followed. I also tested my resilience and resolve on extreme cross country races from the Etapák series, and I managed my career maximum in the form of two 600 km races from the Guido Pfeiffermann's Kickdistance series - Milan-Munich in 2024 and Bordeaux-Paris in 2025.

To finish the Tour de France Femmes on a footbike is not only yet another challenge for me, but more importantly a way to inspire and make new footbikers from not just all hesitating couch potatoes, but mainly women, who sometimes get scared by long distances and great challenges. Girls, we can make it!
