Naples Bike Festival 2014 at the Mostra d'Oltremare | Program

The Naples Bike Festival 2014 will take place in September in the Mostra d'Oltremare with many activities including the Bike Polo, the Pump Truck and the Bikaccia!

Here comes the third edition of one of the most popular events for two-wheel enthusiasts: the Naples Bike FestivaL. The 2014 edition will again be full of events and news for all cyclists who want to participate in the event.

After the success of second edition of the 2013, The Napoli Bike Festival will always be organized within the Mostra d'Oltremare, a few months renamed Isola delle Passioni, and will take place from the 12 to the 14 September 2014.

Thanks to the Napoli Pedala association, which brought together producers, associations and individual cyclists, the Festival aims to spread the culture of cycling and sustainable mobility to carry out what should be two-wheeled revolution.
The dances will be open on September 12 with a cicloaperitivo accompanied by a DJ set that will start at 19 and will last at least until midnight. The next two days, on the other hand, will be completely dedicated to the world of bicycles, thanks to the setting up of the Bike Village, open all day from 10.00 to 20.00.

The Festival will be more intense and fun also thanks to the novelties dedicated to bikes already present in the Mostra d'Oltremare: the pump truck, the track with curves and humps in which to try out in bike acrobatics, and the Bike Polo, a sport similar to polo, to be played, however, by bicycle.

However, let's see, in detail, what the Naples Bike Festival 2014 offers us.

Bike Tour

The Naples Bike Festival does not only consist in the discovery of the world of two wheels to be carried out within Isola delle Passioni, but also in the realization of real tours to do by bike in the most evocative places of Naples. In fact, thanks to the expert guides of Cicloverdi, Carbonari Bikers, BikeTour Napoli you can go around the streets and the most beautiful places in the city and in the entire Phlegraean area.
A tour with children and one for off-road lovers will also be organized.

Ciclomeccanica

Fear of staying on foot due to a malfunction of your bike? Do not worry, thanks to the cyclomechanical experts of the Naples Bike Festival you will learn all the techniques and secrets to take care of your two-wheeled vehicle, making all your suggestions for a perfect maintenance. You will learn how to drill the wheel, adjust the saddle and the brakes and make a perfect disassembly of the bottom bracket.

Children's Area

Learning to ride a bike from an early age is the best technique, but also knowing everything that revolves around the world of cycling should be assimilated from an early age. This is why the area dedicated to children will organize creative readings, cyclomechanics workshops, will talk about the bike license, will install a traveling playroom and will teach the techniques for proper athletic training.

Bike Challenge

Not just theory or tour, but also many interesting challenges for the 2014 Napoli Bike Festival. Challenges suitable for bikers of all ages and training:

  • Very young Challenge
  • Brompton Urban Challenge
  • Bullit Race
  • Urban Race

Laboratories and Debates

With the physics and mathematics laboratories of the bicycle you will discover all the mathematics that are hidden behind the correct use of your vehicle. What is the right relationship to face a tough climb? How many meters do we ride with a pedal? These questions and much more.

Bike Polo

The new Bike Polo field was inaugurated on July 31 and you can play this particular sport by challenging friends and participants. The aim is to accumulate more points by scoring as in the game of the pole, only that instead of horses you will use the bicycle!

Pump Truck

The track for acrobatics has been inserted for a few weeks and is already a success. During the days of the festival will be organized sessions for beginners, who will learn to face bends and bumps with the masters of the mountain bike school, both for experts who will compete in chase races.

Bikaccia

A treasure hunt by bike in the 720000 square meters of the exhibition. This is the bikaccia, the traditional appointment of the Festival, which will allow you to find the treasure only if you follow all the clues and solve the questions you will find on your path. The last edition took place during the Comicon 2014 and the participants will try to wrest the title from the winners in charge.
Children accompanied by an adult can also participate.

Bike Cinetic

The Bike Cinetic consists of a series of physical and mental preparation activities designed specifically for bikers, both adults and children, and can be carried out both by body and by bicycle.
