Bratislava-inline has been on Bratislava’s summer programme since 2004. Every month, starting in May, the streets and roads of Bratislava are, for one Friday evening, reserved for skaters, cyclists, scooter riders, longboarders, skateboarders and runners – young and old, single and couples, locals and foreigners. Everyone who likes to enjoy a night in Bratislava in a different way.

This special city sport event has been active for 16 years already, and every year it is gaining bigger popularity.

This year there will be 6 rides in Bratislava all together – some of them already happened, but three crazy night are still about to happen  (31.5., 28.6., 19.7., 26.7., 9.8., 23.8.).

You will have the opportunity to skate on the carefully chosen roads that are normally crowded with cars and public transport vehicles. With the help of local authorities the different routs are chosen on every inline evening. For the safety of the participants there are police, medical personnel and the inline team at every event. The “Inline team” in reflective orange vests, manages the flow of the rollers, skaters and all the other participants and makes sure the event runs smoothly.

The event is organised by cross-city skaters and bikers. And for the event to be safe and joyful for everyone, the participants must follow some rules:

  • everyone participates at their own responsibility
  • you must master fast breaking, skating in a crowd and keeping the tempo of the ride
  • skate on the right, take over on the left
  • if you’re on a bike, follow the inline skaters
  • respect the instructions of police, medical personnel and inline team and always give the right of way
  • in case of breaking or obstacle on the road, put your hands up
  • MaSL (Maximum Speed Limit) is given by the first police car, MiSL (Minimum Speed Limit) is given by the last police car
  • don’t throw away garbage, we want to keep our cities nice and clean
  • maintain drinking regime, always carry enough drinks with you
  • take your ID card with you, you may need it in case of an injury or if you win in a lottery drawing
  • safety’s first – take care of yourself – wear a helmet and protective pads!
