Many have started to see the bicycle as a powerful tool for income generation and a potential ally for continuing the dream of entrepreneurship, as is the case with Erooh Fernandes. The course enhanced his ideas about entrepreneurship.

“I am setting up a store for salads and natural juices, and I was worried about how I would make deliveries. I leave the course with many ideas on how to do that,” he comments.

The Pedala Macaé project aims to promote the bicycle as a tool for income generation, citizenship, strengthening local economies, and improving quality of life. In addition to Living from Bike, it also includes Rodinha Zero, which aims to encourage the bicycle as a tool for integral development for children aged 4 to 6 years, promoting its use through activities inside and outside of school, the campaign Bike Parada Não Rola, which consists of collecting unused bicycles in condominiums to be used in social projects developed in Macaé. For this year, the project brings new initiatives such as: the Bike-a-Tona, a social innovation marathon, and the opening of a Hub, a space dedicated to bicycles and the environment, which will host programs on these themes throughout the year.

The Instituto Aromeiazero is a non-profit organization that uses the bicycle to reduce social inequalities and contribute to making cities more resilient. The projects are supported by companies and individuals, in addition to incentive laws, with a large part of the actions taking place in peripheral and vulnerable communities. Since 2011, Aro’s initiatives promote a comprehensive view of the bicycle, enhancing cultural and artistic expressions, income generation, and healthy living habits.
