Streetwise Cycle Team
The Streetwise Cycle Team is a (sports) cycling project for people in disadvantaged positions. We strongly believe in the beneficial effect of sports cycling in a group setting for people whose lives do not roll smoothly for various reasons. Such as people in poverty, refugees, status holders, former addicts, ex-prisoners, people who are lonely or have mental health problems. We have low-threshold cycling groups in which people do weekly guided bike rides in close-knit teams. A few times a year we organize a larger cycling event for the same target group. We also provide sports bikes and cycling clothing free of charge.
