In a previous blog we introduced our Dream Team of our 4 interns from Belgium – Brian, Elle, Lan-Phuong and Lore. As their group assignment, they took on a great challenge. To take an old COCO-MAT bike from the basement of our factory and turn it into a brand new bike only by themselves. The idea was to showcase how easily a COCO-MAT bike can be maintained, what it means to ”prolong the lifetime of a product”, why our bikes are truly sustainable, how our partners and clients can keep their bikes clean and fresh all the time, why this bike will never end up in rubbish piles, the principles of re-cycling and up-cycling and finally what it means to be ”hands on” in a company.

I am Lore, a 22-year-old student from Belgium. I started working as an intern at COCO-MAT bike on February the first. I am responsible for the social media and the digital marketing. COCO-MAT bike is a very sympathetic company where you immediately feel welcome. Colleagues feel like friends so it feels like home. You can go to anyone with your questions. In addition, my internship is very instructive. Stefanos, my supervisor, is very open-minded and is always ready to help. No question is too much for him.

The partnership and co-branding with COCO-MAT.bike Belgium and  HEDGREN has been fascinating for so many reasons. Sharing the same values, when it comes to the notion of “MOVE”, it has made it easy to create a cool and engaging set of stories around our international bike hero in Belgium, Stefanos Alexopoulos, and his daily move. As it’s stated in their website “Stefanos Alexopoulos is creating quite the storm with the very first COCO-MAT bike shop in the world. He is inspired by how the beauty of nature can enhance an urban environment. According to Stefanos there is an innate rhythm to everything. By finding the freedom to move according to your own pace, you find your path. ‘I believe there is a fire in everyone, the more you move, the bigger it gets’. There are many reasons why Stefanos is…
