Calão is a shared dream of three individuals, but it wouldn't become a reality without the unwavering support of our families, friends, local bike community and business partners.
And now, we're inviting you to join us to be the change you want to see around.
Bikes are commuters' best friend
Access to different means of transportation is crucial to well-functioning modern cities. Using cars for every destination and distance simply doesn't make sense. Reliable public transportation is an important alternative but has its downsides too. This is where bikes come in — they're a smart solution for getting from A to B without getting stuck in traffic. And they promote health by incorporating movement into our daily lives. However, many cities are still not geared up for safe and efficient bicycle commuting.
Riding the wave of change
Our philosophy at Calão is about empowering people to choose the better alternative. Better for our health, the health of the cities and our entire ecosystems. As we change our travel behaviours, we create the need to rethink the city infrastructure and bring in solutions that allow safe cycling for all.
Moving forward together
Do you have a vision or an idea of what could be done in your neighbourhood to promote everyday cycling? Are you part of a cycling-related organisation and want to collaborate? We'd love to hear from you! Drop us an email at ola@calao.pt, and we will get back to you. The only way forward is together.
