CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I wish we all had wings... but i'm ok with bikes by now.

I'm an open minded anti-gender/queer person who rides bikes for a living.
I'm a Bike Messenger, I own a company with some friends, called Ciclo Courier.
Bike Polo is my passion.
So.. I'm usually on the streets, biking, partying, racing, juggling, dancing, always with friends, old and new. It's always good to meet new people.

"We envision a world where everyone can explore and create meaningful connections with the people and places we encounter. Building meaningful connections across cultures enables us to respond to diversity with curiosity, appreciation and respect. The appreciation of diversity spreads tolerance and creates a global community"

PHILOSOPHY

“I’ll ride them a little faster and let them blur into my sweet timelessness. This little race of the quietness of wheels humming soothing tunes of nameless streets with their blank signs spelling only welcome for me to race right through their shimmer, pushing myself to live faster, live louder, live a little more alive and put a little more of that living into how I ride through all of this.
I am not quite so weakened at heart that I should become satisfied with taking life lying down in surrender my grip, but I take life by the bars and rush into it leaning forward, confident, these little cities whizzing through me in blips and fireflies crowding the cavities in me to make me a hive of dancing lights that glitter in the trails that I leave when I race right through them. I ride all the more faster in this life and let the brays of worry be swallowed alive by the gentle hum of spinning steel.”

- Samu Ainesmaa

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- To have lived in a "squat" in Rio

- 4h and 30 mins track going up a mountain in Aiuruoca, Minas Gerais. It's called Pico do Papagaio, awesome, great experience!

- Zermatt, Switzerland, a very small middle age little town with a huge mountain/ski station (Matterhorn). Man, no words for it, best four days of my life! Until now
