88 BIKES Foundation
What is 88 BIKES
They are a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can raise a child and create a better future for them.
They started extending help to needy children and youth who were eager to study and work for a better life. This moment intensified when they found that there were many such underprivileged children who needed help with food, shelter and education. Their team expanded and they spread out in different regions to make sure they cover all possible areas and help as many children as possible.
Our personal approach
Our Vision
Our journey is about traveling. It’s about discovering the world, learn from it and its wonderful people.
To this aim, the bicycle is an incredible tool. It brings us to places we never expected and we get to meet extraordinary human beings.
A bicycle can be a real game changer in the life of many people, allowing them to move around, cover farther distances, go to work, connect with the community. It is also a great empowering object, a symbol of freedom, that can really make a difference.
It is beautiful to see how far we all can go with little push!
Our Mission
With our adventure, we want to promote the use of the bicycle and to give some meaning to each of our wheel turn.
We are therefore super proud to collaborate with the 88bikes Foundation, which main goal is to provide bicycles to young woman and girls all around the world, most of them rescued from human trafficking. Their action give them the opportunity to brake the isolation and reconnect to the society, helping them to build a future. Since 2007 they have endowed nearly 10,000 bikes to heroic kids in eighteen countries.
88bikes Foundation also organize bike rides, repair clinics, mural painting and dressmaking workshops, showing a new world of beauty and happiness!

The 10th of June 2022, in the name of 88bikes, we organised a “Day of happy” and endowed 24 bicycles to heroics young girl in La Paz, Bolivia. It was an emotionally intense day, but so rewarding! It’s hard to describe how we felt seeing these girls so happy with their new bikes, watching them being so motivated to learn how to pedal, witnessing a true joy… until one of them ended up falling in our arms to thank us and another one said: “you know, it was my dream to learn to cycle” while pedalling around the patio… priceless!!
We do not need an engine to keep moving when we received this kind of motivation!!
