CARAVAN
TRANSMISSION – GUILLAUME NERY. Cycling is a gift. From when you are first taught to push the pedals down the street, to crossing the finish line with your arms raised in thanks.
CARAVAN
A Day in the (Sporting) Life of Étienne Hubert. It’s 6:27 am as we approach Étienne Hubert’s front door on the eastern edge of Paris. The professional kayaker and Caravan athlete resides a stone’s throw from Bois de Vincennes, the city’s largest public park. Today, we are here to follow him around as he trains and observe the life of sportsman who will not stop.
CARAVAN
Étienne Hubert – Lake Émosson. The professional canoeist and Caravan athlete, Étienne Hubert, is preparing for the 2024 Olympics in Paris, where he lives. Part of his process is to take himself away from the metropolis, just him, a tent, his bike and of course, his kayak.
CARAVAN
Alba and Michele: From the Farm to the Podium. Alba and Michele both belong to the elite circle of the best in the world on the skimo calendar. When we talk about their success, both humbly temper our remarks. Perhaps because they are happier to be busy with their bees.
CARAVAN
No Direction Home : Bike-packing in the Balkans. Freediving champion and Caravan athlete Guillaume Néry saddled up with his partner to ride from southern Greece towards their home in Nice.
CARAVAN
Anton Krupicka: Mount Blue Sky. Mount Blue Sky sits at an elevation of 14,265 feet (4,348m) above sea level. The road to the summit happens to be the highest paved road in North America and presents a pretty compelling opportunity to cyclists.
CARAVAN
Michele Boscacci and Alba di Silvestro: Passo dello Stelvio. Passo dello Stelvio’s switchbacks are to the road rider, professional or amateur, mythically charged, intimidating yet alluring, devilishly tough yet heaven-scented.
CARAVAN
Caravan : Michele Boscacci. Alongside skiing, my other passion has been MTB and now road riding. I use riding my bike as pre-season training and I train with Alba a lot on the bike; it allows us to spend time together and have fun whilst still ‘working’ at our own pace.
LA MAISON
Alexia Barrier: Repair-Café. When Alexia suggested the idea of organizing a Repair-Café to us, we jumped at the idea. The principle: fix things, don’t chuck them away and replace them if unnecessary.
LA MAISON
1% for the Planet - Alexia Barrier. We spoke to our Caravan ambassador and professional sailor Alexia Barrier about her 4myplanet enterprise and how Café du Cycliste will be contributing to her future projects through 1% for the Planet.
LA MAISON
Étienne Hubert: Paris by Night. Adventure is around every corner on a bike, even in Paris in winter. Olympic canoeist and Caravan member, Étienne Hubert, takes two kayaking veterans on a twilight tour of Paris.
LA MAISON
Guillaume Néry: Diving in at the Café. It took five magical minutes to understand the dimension of free-diving champion and Caravan member, Guillaume Néry. To watch him sit and hold his breath for five minutes was a drop in the ocean on the way to understanding what’s required in this super-human sport.
