With Sponsorship from Foresea, Pedala Macaé Festival Will Offer Community Mechanics Activities, Cycling Lessons, Martial Arts and Music Performances, Among Others

The Aromeiazero Institute, in partnership with Foresea, will hold the 3rd edition of the Pedala Macaé Festival with various free outdoor activities for the residents of Macaé. The Festival will take place on November 11 and celebrates the third year of the Pedala Macaé project, which aims to encourage the use of bicycles in everyday life, as well as reinforce the importance of more sustainable and ecological urban mobility.

Among the activities offered, there will be classes for children on how to ride without training wheels, such as the “Rodinha Zero” project; free bike repairs with students from the Viver de Bike course; as well as music, martial arts performances, small business fair, and urban gardening. The Festival runs from 10 AM to 3 PM, in the streets surrounding Bicibase (the project’s headquarters) at Parque Aeroporto.

During the festival, the graduation of the 2023 Viver de Bike classes will take place. Since the beginning of the program, the course has trained 128 people, including 85 women. Viver de Bike is aimed at those who already work or want to start a business using bicycles as a financial leverage tool. In addition to the mechanics content, classes on entrepreneurship, financial management, and the power of bikes in cities are taught.

The event will also feature the presentation of the results of the Bikeatona 2023. This is a social innovation marathon that supports ideas, projects, and businesses using bicycles to strengthen low-income communities in Brazil. This year, Pedala Macaé, organized by Aromeiazero with sponsorship from Foresea, invested R$ 20,000 in 4 impact projects.

“We are very proud to have participated in building the history of Pedala Macaé since its inception, contributing to workforce training and encouraging socio-environmental projects and the volunteer engagement of our members with the community, as well as promoting the use of bicycles as a tool for entrepreneurship, income generation, and a clean and healthy means of transportation. We also reinforce Macaé’s sustainable vocation as an example to be followed,” celebrates Marco Aurélio Fonseca, Vice President of Sustainability at Foresea.

Successful History

The Pedala Macaé Festival was a public success last year, bringing together about 500 people. More than 50 bikes were serviced in the mechanics workshop, 76 children attended the Rodinha Zero space, and 400 seedlings were distributed in exchange for 141 kilos of recyclable waste for selective collection.

“We want to strengthen, more and more, the bond between people and the city they live in. It may seem strange at first, but it is very common for humans to see the city not as part of their home, but rather as a transit point between home, work, home. The bicycle is an incredible instrument that transforms the daily commute into leisure, physical activity, and above all, belonging to the city. It is with this intention that we celebrate the street as a public space for festivity and gathering,” comments Renata Cirilo, coordinator of Pedala Macaé.

The event is organized by the Aromeiazero Institute with sponsorship from Foresea and support from the Sports Secretariat and the Mobility Secretariat.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

For the first time, scientists have mapped the Etna magma system in almost real time and discovered where the volcano was storing large volumes of molten material before years of eruptions, revealing an underground reservoir that fills and reorganizes like a living organism beneath the mountain.

More than 1,500 Chinese workers transformed an entire railway station in just one night and reduced a 7-hour journey to 90 minutes with a high-speed line of 200 km/h.

Brazilian city becomes a global destination after attracting tourists who travel up to 10,000 km to visit a sanctuary with 11 giant saints up to 10 meters tall, open 24 hours and located along a highway in SP.

JBL Flip Essential 3 SE is launched with 30W of power (20W + 10W), Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast for multiple connections, IP67 water and dust resistance, up to 12 hours of battery life, and a price of approximately R$ 660 in China.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Pernambuco paradise with 59% of preserved area advances with R$ 2 billion in e-methanol, aims for 900 tons/day, grows 38.6% and builds electrified terminal of 400 thousand TEUs.

Brazil may have railways back on the map, but it will need the government: a study reveals 7,412 km ready for reactivation, a cost of R$ 75 billion, 61 sections analyzed, and none viable without public funding.

China has just discovered oil in rock layers that no one thought could be explored at the bottom of the South China Sea, and the field with over 100 million tons could change the balance of energy power in Asia.

Petrobras finds oil on the seabed in the Campos Basin, hundreds of kilometers off the coast of Rio, and the discovery in a deep area raises curiosity about what else may be hidden in the pre-salt and how much this new area could surprise Brazil in the coming years.

Petrobras announces a new discovery in the pre-salt layer of the Campos Basin in block C-M-477, 201 km off the coast of Rio and at a depth of 2,984 m, following indications from electrical profiles, gas, and samples collected during drilling.

Even before the first drilling on the Brazilian Equatorial Margin, a wave of migrants is pressuring Oiapoque, expanding precarious occupations and transforming the city of Amapá into the new epicenter of the oil rush in the Amazon.

Oil rises more than 7% and surpasses $102 this Monday (13) after the announcement of the U.S. blockade on Iran, putting pressure on fuels, raising global inflation, and impacting economic costs.
