OUR MISSION

We create unique sports and recreation spaces in Krakow for all cyclists — for children and seniors, beginners and experts, people with disabilities, amateurs and pros, road cycling fans and mountain bikers, commuters, BMX riders, trial riders, and more. We are transforming Krakow into a cycling capital, providing opportunities to try, practice, and develop in a wide range of cycling disciplines, including niche and hard-to-access ones. We promote the bicycle as the most eco-friendly means of transport — after all, on a bike, a human is the most efficient animal on Earth!

We operate with the landscape in mind, caring for aesthetics and the environment, in harmony with the ideas of Sustainable Development and Smart City.
