Faces of Cycling

You have to look hard to find a family in Austria without a woom bike. If you leave it too late for Christmas or Easter, you’ll be faced with empty shelves in specialist and online retailers – and even though these bikes aren’t much cheaper second-hand, you’ll have to be quick if you want to get hold of one from those markets too. That’s because Austrian children’s bike brand woom has achieved cult status, and deservedly so!

1,600 kilometres on bikes across Austria – that sounds like an exciting adventure! And if it’s the illustrious group that accompanies the extraordinary musician Manu Delago, along with bandmates and technicians, then it’s sure to be an unforgettable road trip. But it isn’t just about having fun: the crew are blazing a trail in the music industry by using bikes for their whole tour of Austria, including for their instruments and equipment. We caught up with Manu Delago for an interview and looked back at his ReCycling Tour 2021.
