Wind in your face, a web platform for inclusive cycling

The bicycle has corresponded to the idea of freedom ever since it was invented. Too many people, however, due to physical or cultural barriers, cannot enjoy the simple and joyful experience of cycling. This is why Vento in Faccia, a project promoted by the associations Macramè and Tikitaka for ecological, shared and accessible mobility that makes the cycling experience possible also for those who alone could not do it. Thanks to special vehicles, trained escorts and an active territorial network, the aim is to make the 'wind in the face' experience possible also for people with disabilities, motor or cognitive fragility.

With the great solidarity bicycle ride on 13 September 'La Carica di Eolo', which ended in Gorgonzola, a crowdfunding campaign was launched on Ideaginger for the creation of a platform that will enable inclusive mobility experiences, choosing the type of bike or aid (the classic bicycle but also tandems, rickshaws, tricycles and pedal-assisted vehicles) and guaranteeing trained escorts. All of this at reduced rates, free of charge on weekdays for members of the partner associations.

Over the next 50 days it will be possible to contribute a donation, to try to offer more and more people the possibility of moving without barriers. The project, with the contribution of Bcc Milano, Decathlon Foundation and Fondazione Mazzola, also involves the associations Pagnana Solidale, Arti e Mestieri Sociali, Novo Millennio, Fiab Monzainbici, Il Germoglio, Anffas, Arché Onlus and Immaginabili Risorse. Technical partners Aspasso Bike and Decathlon.
