About
Bikipi was born from a passion for cycling and the belief that hospitality between cyclists can change the way we travel.
Cycling through France and Europe, we were always welcomed with kindness by other cyclists, families, strangers who became friends. But over the years, we also noticed that existing tools no longer met the community's needs, were no longer updated, or had become paid.
Bikipi was born from this simple desire: to recreate a free hosting platform for cycle tourists. We're neither an ambitious startup nor a social network hunting for data. We're just two enthusiasts who want to put humanity and freedom back at the heart of bike travel!
