OUR OBJECTIVES
Neutral Carbon footprint
Bicycle travel does not require any type of fuel. Without motorized assistance, with our strong bikes, we want to embrace the idea of “zero emission travel” in a global warming context and highlight over-consumption in modern society. Our carbon footprint tracking will be displayed with a virtual meter on our website.
Promote Woman’s image
Our blog will be updated weekly with dedicated articles with both female and male point of views. We want to feature the concept of women traveling to remote locations and show how her experience will be similar and / or different along the way.
Bike Trip promotion
We will carry high tech equipment (computer, hybrid and gopro cameras, drone) to update our website and social networks with pictures, videos and web articles to promote the extraordinary bicycle travelling experience in remote areas.
