BIKENBIKE is an innovative start-up born from the passion of the founder, Matilde Atorino, for cycling and cycle explorations and from her need to find cycling proposals and new travel companions in a simple and fast way.

We have been online since March 2017 but we began to make the project known in May 2016 on the occasion of the Naples bike festival. In fact, the platform connects those looking for and those organizing bike tours, for now on the Italian territory. The tours are organized by both private individuals and operators in the sector who, by creating a personal account or linked to their own bike rental, tour operator, or bicycle tour guide, can publish cycling tourism proposals for free.
The tours have different contents, 4 icons for 4 large macro-areas of interest for travelers: food and wine, art and history, nature, sport. There is also some useful information for users to orient themselves in choosing the experience that best suits their needs (difficulty, duration, type of bike, etc.).
There are currently around 50 tours available and 3000 registered users on the site. We are also developing the Bikenbike app that will allow us to open up to new services.
The first year and a half of life of our start-up allowed us to study the cycling sector well. We have participated in several conferences and bike summits dedicated to the bike economy and tourism on two wheels. We want to contribute with technology and a continuous relationship with operators, to make the sector grow. Cycling tourism is on the rise and we are convinced that we can contribute by connecting the services offered by the various actors involved to the needs of Italian and foreign cyclists. In addition to the site we also have a Blog in which we tell the passion for cycling from various points of view: innovation, design, craftsmanship and of course cycling destinations.
