Clorofilla returns to Eurobike. After the success of its participation in 2019, just a few months after its debut on the market, Clorofilla returns to Eurobike in the new location of Frankfurt-am-Main.

Eurobike is the most important fair in Europe for the “bike” sector, involving not only bike industry operators but also entities from the political, financial, and social world. Today, it presents itself as a meeting place capable of generating new alliances that give rise to innovative business and mobility solutions, with the bike at the center of all activities.

Eurobike is currently positioned in the transition that bicycles are undergoing, from being a tool for sports and leisure to becoming the foundation of sustainable mobility in the future. It is a context in which Clorofilla naturally fits as a manufacturer of tools designed to support the transition towards a more bike-friendly world.

The event will take place from June 21st to 25th. The first three days will be reserved for industry professionals, while the last two days will be open to the public with a “festival” format dedicated to bicycles.

Already in 2022, a record-breaking edition that reflected the enormous growth of the bike universe in recent years, the presence of e-bikes and everything revolving around them clearly indicated the direction of development for two-wheeled mobility.

That’s why Clorofilla has chosen to participate with all the new products released on the market in the last two years, from the Savana line to the Sequoia bike lifter.

Participating in industry trade fairs in the last two years has proven to be particularly beneficial for Clorofilla. For many, the service provided by assistance and charging stations is still a novelty. Making the potential of these services visible to end users and professionals helps spread awareness and increase their usage.

For those who would like to visit us, you can find Clorofilla in Hall 80, booth J22.

Competitive sports have always been a driving force of interest capable of captivating ordinary people with the bicycle. The professionals who, with talent and hard work, battle it out on the race tracks to offer a show of technique and adrenaline are a source of inspiration to sustain and preserve. That’s why it’s important for Clorofilla to contribute, even with small gestures, to support athletes and competitive sports and why you will find Clorofilla at Mtb World Cup events.

The month of June opened with the presence of Clorofilla at Mtb World Cup of Enduro EDR and e-EDR in Pietra Ligure, where some Clorofilla Power charging stations and Liana bike racks were made available to riders during the race days in partnership with the Finale Outdoor Region consortium.

A few days later, Clorofilla began its support for the UCI downhill team Rogue Racing, which has been sponsored now for several years. During the stages of the Lenzerheide (SUI) and Valdisole (IT) World Cup, Clorofilla provides the team with three Sequoia bike lifters to facilitate the constant refinement work on the bikes of the riders competing in the race.

With a long career as a competitor behind him, the founder of Clorofilla, Lorenzo Buratti, has always believed in the educational value of sports. It is understood primarily as passion and fun, but also as personal commitment and discipline.

Seeing young people so seriously engaged in working towards what starts as a simple passion is becoming increasingly rare, and that is why every year we try our best to be there to help the teams and put the athletes in the best possible conditions.

The more kilometers you pedal, the more trees you contribute to planting. This is the basic idea behind the original initiative Green Fondo Cicloappennina promoted by Misura, Legambiente, and Viviappennino.

The Green Fondo Cicloappennina will take place on June 18th on the Ciclovia dell’Appennino, the cycle path that Clorofilla helped equip with 44 Clorofilla Power charging stations along the Apennine ridge from Liguria to Sicily, one for each town crossed.

The chosen location for the start and finish is L’Aquila, a city that has managed to rebuild its beauty after the 2009 earthquake under the sign of sustainability.

The cycling event is organized by RCS Sport and Events and passes through some of the most beautiful locations in the Abruzzo Apennines: San Demetrio ne’ Vestini, Caporciano, Bominaco, Fagnano Alto and Villa Sant’Angelo.

The two proposed loop routes, 40 and 70 kilometers long, wind through the Navelli plain and the Subequana Valley, touching three different natural parks: Gran Sasso, Sirente Velino, and Maiella. The non-competitive initiative is open to all types of bicycles, traditional and electric-assisted.

Each participant will receive a race pack with Misura products and a personalized water bottle, along with cardboard leaves that should be placed in designated containers along the route. Each leaf corresponds to a number of trees that will be planted in Italy. The more kilometers are covered by more people, the higher the number of trees planted.

These trees will become nurseries for the species needed to repopulate our forests. Past reforestation projects have often faced a lack of tree species suitable for our latitudes. Therefore, the objective of these nurseries will be to increase the richness and biodiversity of the available tree heritage in Italy, respecting the specific characteristics of the territory.

The Green Fondo Cicloappennina is just the latest in a series of initiatives implemented by the Colussi-Misura group to promote the Ciclovia dell’Appennino, currently the longest in Italy with its 3,100 kilometers of route spanning 16 regions.

Adding value to this unique project in Italy is also the presence of rest areas that host the Clorofilla charging stations. Here, cyclists have the opportunity to rest, recharge the batteries of electric bikes, make minor adjustments or repairs, and obtain informations about the area they are in and the route they are following, thanks to the accurate signage provided.

Recently, the cycle path has also been equipped with an app available for iOS and Android, which guides cyclists in discovering the beauties of the territory.

The initiative will be supported by sports figures Marta Bassino and Omar Di Felice, DJ Francesco Frank Lotta, journalist and writer Ludovica Casellati, and cycle-traveler and blogger Pietro Franzese. The ambitious reforestation project will be supported by Veneto Agricoltura, the Botanical Garden of the University of Rome La Sapienza, and the germplasm bank of the Maiella Park.

The latter will provide some rare plants native to the L’Aquila area, which will be planted the day before the Green Fondo Cicloappennina in the inaugural ceremony of the initiative.

On the first days of December, taking advantage of some festive days, some of Clorofilla staff’s members decided to experiment a new way of travelling.
Long holiday weekends always put us in front of a dilemma.
Staying home and renounce to explore our beautiful land with its many treasures or get in the car and contribuite to clogging highways, worsening the air quality for everyone and getting higher stress levels for all those who are simply willing to get away from everyday routine and relax?

The solution already exists and we have it and it’s as handy as simply riding a bike, thus getting around the obstacle and contributing to a new, slow mobility. Without renouncing to the things we love, in fact adding something more to our travel experience, we can take part in changing things. For three days, far away from traffic and chaos, we rode on the Rotta del Sale (Route of Salt) bike trail, the cycling path that goes from Cervia to Venice. The gpx files of the route can be downloaded on the website  rottadelsalebiketrail.it , where you can also find many informations abouts the services on the route and useful travel tips.

We documented our adventure in a short reportage that marks the beginning of a new series of videos through which we would like to share our passion for riding, our vision about the future and how we can have a part in shaping a new mobility.
Enjoy.

Spreading the bicycle culture comes also from being able to narrate cycling, to bring it among the people, through its hybridization with what apparently does not relate to it, in the least expected places and ways.

Here is why Clorofilla, together with other realities of the territory such as Oli e-bike systems, Alba 87 gin , Valle Savio Bike Hub  and Cantina Braschi chose to participate as a partner to an initiative organized by the friends from A.S.D. Cicli Neri  with the support from comune di Cesena to bring to town “Cane vecchio sa-und”.

But what is “Cane vecchio sa-und”? It is the name of a “cycle-musical” project conceived by Luca Gregorio e Riccardo Magrini, whose voices are well known to bike lovers since together with they are the ones commentating all the main cycling events for Eurosport Italia together with Moreno Moser.
However only a few know know that “Greg” e “Il Magro” are also passionate musicians, who have devoted their voices and their guitar (Luca Gregorio) to the public between anecdotes and cycling curiosities, in an informal and funny question and answer.

Clorofilla was present with its products which have been used to set up the exhibition of bikes and historical jerseys displayed from 6:30 p.m. that has served as the right scenography for the aperitif organized by Chiosko Savelli, while the music has been the protagonist of the dinner held at the adjacent restaurant Piza from 8 p.m. in genuine regional Romagna style that has put together not only cycling and music but also great food and wine.

The available places have gone sold out in a few hours from the opening of the reservations, testifying the interest of our more and more bike-friendly territory in  all the initiatives gravitating around the cycling world, especially if they are able to connect different experiences to open the doors even to non-cyclists to attract them in the orbit of the bicycle as an instrument of good health, well-being and fun within everyone’s reach.

Just right at the Savelli Gardens a Clorofilla Power station will soon be installed by the municipality of Cesena for the mechanical assistance and the recharge of ebikes at the service of the many urban cyclists passing by this welcoming place in the city every day.

Our expo season has closed last week with our first attending as exhibitors to the renewable energies expo Key Energy together with Ecomondo from 8^th to 11^th November.

An edition that has seen the participation of 1.400 exhibitors who attracted 600 buyers and 41% more visitors than the previous edition in 2021, with people from 90 countries, as officially stated by Italian Exhibition Group at the conclusion of the event.

A great confirmation for Clorofilla too: thanks to the capability of our products of putting together functionality, simplicity of use, reliability and a particularly recognizable design, many contacts and interlocutions have had place during the expo days at our stand, both with public administrations and private subjects, from Italy and foreign countries who first discovered our brand.

Amongst top level specialized technologies, Clorofilla was able to share its part of visibility right because of the immediacy of the concepts at the core of the service offered by our stations. The interest from a sector that deals with energetic development and sustainability shows us a clear path that not only touches the “bicycle” world but more in general all the subjects involved in what we hope will become a true revolution towards a mobility human-shaped.

Recharged by the positive energy of an event where we could feel the pulse of a field in full expansion and participate to meetings and formation with corporations and authorities leading the energetic development in Europe, we go back to work following up the many requests received which will open new growing spaces for us renewing our energies for the development of brand new projects for 2023.

From 8th to 11th November Clorofilla will be attending at the 15th edition of Key Energy, the expo of renewable energies organized by Italian Exhibition Group that will be hosted together with Ecomondo at the Rimini Expo Center.

With over 1.400 companies attending, Key Energy is an international reference for everything that concerns the transition towards energetic sustainability. Every year Key Energy hosts services, solutions and technologies which are useful to accelerate and optimize the conversion that looks more and more urgent and necessary to the economy and even more to our everyday life.

Among its central themes there are sustainable mobility and developing of the infrastructures necessary to amplify electrification of transports solutions. It is nowadays clear the crucial role that can be played in this sector bu the two-wheels, both electrical and traditional, in the “green” city we imagine for our future.

Beyond products and technologies, Key Energy is made of meetings, seminars and appointments  to talk about the future of our environment and take part to it as leading actors. Here’s why Clorofilla will be present not only to present its products but also to engage in a dialogue with other players working in the same field and to put its expertise at work in this change.

Since a while ago our main interlocutors are public administrations and privates who strive to re-invent work spaces, urban and leisure areas where people live and spend their time, contributing to redesign them. Clorofilla’s solutions are ready today for the tomorrow we want to achieve, with truly sustainable products and an eye always attentive to fill our landscape with beauty.

You will find us at stand 57 in hall D7 at Rimini Expo Center from tuesday 8th to friday 11th.
