WHY PADBIKE?
Looking for inspiration at every turn
PadBike is a project born from the passion of two brothers for the world of Mountain Bike. The idea was born in 2019 with the intent to address two problems, namely the difficulty of meeting new people passionate about mountain biking and the desire to discover new trails that could give us stronger emotions than those we were used to.
When we realized that we were not the only ones to feel these needs , we wanted to get involved and try to remedy them. From here the idea of creating a community was born, a virtual place where we could connect as many people as possible who are united by a passion for cycling.
This brought us to PadBike.
So, to the question 'why PadBike?' we hope to be able to answer that PadBike represents an opportunity. The opportunity to create something wonderful that unites people and builds strong bonds, based on the possibility of sharing the same passion: that for mountain biking.
Starting from December 2022 Padbike has officially become a Sports Association
