How did BikeCafe start? In 1999 the site originated from one’s passion for the sport. David Visintainer, competitive cyclist and Owner of BikeCafe, saw a connection between cycling and the community that surrounds it. After years of cycling with friends and stopping at cafes while on rides, David wanted to create a forum that would accurately capture the distinctive essence of cycling.
In 2002 the vision for BikeCafe expanded beyond the original scope of a
personal interest site. The site grew to encompass the cycling community
across the globe by taking on the format of a cycling portal.
Vision
To many, cycling might be looked at as simply the hardest endurance sport in the world in which the racing is tough, the season long and the glory is held by but a mere few. On the surface this may hold true but at its core, cycling represents many aspects of life that are easily overlooked. In reality, cycling mirrors life in many ways. Further examination brings to light that cycling encompasses all of the key elements of life; Man vs. Man, Man vs. Nature, and most of all, Man vs. Himself. For there is no other sport in the world in which the thresholds of competition, mental challenges and physical pain are pushed to their limits on a daily basis both in training as well as racing. BikeCafe is designed to invite individuals into this exciting world of cycling and continues to focus on being the world’s best cycling Portal. Contributors
