Bruno from Cyclomundo

 

I set up Cyclomundo in 2003, building it around my philosophy that cycling is at the centre of an environment-friendly, green-minded universe which brings people closer and opens up ways to have fun, enjoy life, and explore the world.

Cycling has been my passion ever since I was a child. I enjoy all types of cycling, whether it be commuting from my home on the Salève mountain or racing sportive events with friends (l’Etape du Tour or the Alpe Open tour).

Cycling is not only my favourite sport but also my favourite way to travel and I love to explore, spending a lot of time scouting trips on all types of surfaces, using a wide range of bikes: road, gravel, bikeways, and canal paths.

GenevaCycling is my latest brainchild.  It’s a project to offer bike tours from Geneva, as well as individual services like bike hire, logistics and support. The project has been on the back-burner for the last few years but this year’s slower pace has given me a chance to put it together. I’m really excited to be offering these services and help people discover Geneva’s amazing cycling opportunities!
