FROM A CHEAP ELECTRIC TO A PROPER RIDE – GONÇALO’S NEW BROMPTON
Gonçalo started commuting with a cheap e-bike from a famous mainstream retailer, but the thing broke after just six months. It did its job by showing me that bike commuting in Porto is possible. Now I'm ready to pedal. Gonçalo bought a Brompton at our Matosinhosdam store. A proper ride. … [Read more...] about FROM A CHEAP ELECTRIC TO A PROPER RIDE – GONÇALO’S NEW BROMPTON
HOMOCYCLOUS
Mr T. shares the name with our Mr T. and chose the same bike. He owns several bikes, but this time he was looking for something different - the perfect commuting bicycle for his everyday rides.

I … [Read more...] about ON THE BENCH: MANUEL

ON THE BENCH – MANEL
Manel, author and copywriter in the making, was the second to leave some words seated on our bench. "Well, you know, I recently started a new job at a big transports company here in Matosinhos. I think it makes much more sense to pedal by the Douro than face Porto's heavy traffic in a car. I spent some time working in Brussels and the city taught me how to not be car … [Read more...] about ON THE BENCH – MANEL
