Main theme

Connection is everything. One place with another, one city with its region, one river bank with the other side. People with people.

The bicycle is the ideal mode of connection! It connects places, it connects people and it can connect different modes of transport and sectors.

Low-tech, low-cost, easy, sustainable and in constant connection with other cyclists and the environment. Let’s use the bicycle to reconnect.
