Who are we
Celia Martín
organizer
Celia Martín has as her motto “life is cooler if you ride a bike”. Her natural way of getting around is by bike, to go to work, to go to the countryside, to travel… and when she is still (rarely) it is because she is planning and designing the tracks of her next trip.
Cris Maristany
organizer
Cris is a communicator who, through her bicycle trips and the videos she makes while pedaling, seeks to inspire and make women and the LGBTIQ+ community more visible. Her latest adventure, a three-month trip without a plan, in which she has let life and the bike guide her way.
Laura Rincón
organizadora
Laura met bike travel by chance in 2016. Since then, she has traveled by bike in Europe, Southeast Asia and Taiwan, always with the idea of spreading bike travel to reach as many women as possible.
Laura Rosúa
For more than seven years, yoga has been a constant presence in Laura’s life.
She lived for eight years in various cities and towns across India. There, she trained in hatha yoga, therapeutic yoga, yin yoga, and Ayurvedic nutrition, dedicating several of those years to study and various training programs.
Yoli Díaz
Yoli is a woman passionate about biketravel and filtered specialty coffees. She owns a specialty bike coffee shop with a, of course, bickepacking version. She is an SCA-certified brewing barista.
Giulia Camporesi
Giulia is 28 years old and worked as a nutritionist in Italy before deciding she wanted to get to know herself and her surroundings at a speed of 15 km/h.
On March 1, she left Italy and set off westward on her bicycle.
Jonna Beland

Isabel y Carmelo
For two years, they cycled through 14 countries on the African continent, from Madrid to Madagascar, carrying a pedal-powered film projector with the aim of bringing a little entertainment to people who lack access to culture or electricity—a project they called Cinecicleta.
Isa Olmos
Isaloves the mountains in every way and has been hooked on two wheels ever since her wonderful days on a tricycle (yes, she was already showing promise back then). She practices various cycling disciplines, though cyclocross has really won her over in recent years.
For her, cycling is much more than just a sport: it’s a way of life, a way to feel, connect, discover, and push herself.
