It’s a pun, mixing city, bicycle and desire to discover unseen places. I’m used to name myself an Urban Bike Explorer because, since I was very young, bike was the means to wander around Milan searching unseen glimpses and new places. I consider bicycle the best way to explore the city and dive in its vibe. Bike gave me the freedom to run and satisfy my curiosity. This passion of mine took me to work for Ottotubi, an Association born from a group of friends sharing love for bike and awareness that using and fostering it will make our city a better place. At the same time I am the spokeperson and creator of Association itself and of its activities.
