Albino, a resident in San José Nursing Home, passed away on Tuesday, March 16th. He was, by far, the most frequently cycled elder in Corella. He enjoyed around fifteen CWA rides. He was very wise and very fun to be with. We’ve made a video to remember him forever: https://www.facebook.com/BiciclistasdeCorella/videos/281432633343242

What the hell is that?
That’s what so many people are asking us lately: what the hell are they building in «El Sotillo»? Currently, so many people ignore that «El Sotillo» is going to become «Erasmus Park» shortly. We planted eight elm trees in March 2019 and now the town council is laying the foundations of the pergola. In the […]
Replanting vandalized trees
On Saturday night, February 21, a driver run over 12 trees in El Villar area, where Biciclistas de Corella planted 315 trees with the help of sooooo many Erasmus students. That evil driver broke two trees and damaged 10 more. Unfortunately, four more trees were vandalized in Camino Bajo del Villar. The town council planted […]

Our project, extended 4 months
We’ve had an online meeting today to provide updates, share our achievements and future activities and so forth. As we can not meet personally, online meetings will do! We are in the middle of a terrible pandemic that doesn’t allow us to travel abroad –almost anywhere, actually. Wishing that things at the end of this […]
Visiting a workshop for second-hand bikes
By Layla Samhi Yesterday, February 2nd, we went to our high school to carry loads of second-hand bikes in Biciclistas’ van. The bike room was a complete mess with bikes all around, used and punctured tires, pedals… Besides, there were in-line skates and big rolls of colourful paper. We took all the bikes out, tidied […]

The psychologist Vibeke Koushede gave us a lot of tips and information about our elders in pandemic times, how they are coping with lockdowns, social distance, and lack of hugs and […]
