Pedal das Capivaras in Brazil (SLA)
In April we organized a bike ride with ecological motivation, Pedal das Capivaras – SHIMANO.

We mobilized around 350 people on a bike ride through the heart of Sao Paulo city (biggest of south america), for the clean up of Rio Pinheiros. The registration had a value and all money from the registration was donated 100% to an Institution for abandoned children Lar Nossa Senhora Aparecida: they raise the kids and put them on cycling. Many kids are racing and are seen as promises for Brazil’s MTB future.
