We know, we know…It’s not the most familiar bicycle at a first glance. But once you get the hang of it, you will fall in love with the effortless and solid bicycle performance.

After our hands got muddy and green, together with other friends, partners and clients we cooked and enjoyed a warm soup. What a pleasure to see our wooden bikes around the world, leaving their green footprint…

Unfortunately, his journey was forced to be canceled due to the outbreak of COVID-19. He had already covered 6.354 kilometers only by his wooden bike within 3 months time.
