Life on the Bike
Krisjanis Ratiniks — bicycle traveller and organizer of cycling events. I am the founder of VELOMENS Ltd and have led and organized more than 100 bike rides in 12 different countries, in which up to 500 participants have participated. It has recently become Guinness record holder, setting it by bicycle visiting the largest number of countries in one day.
Janis Karklins — passionate cycling enthusiast.
“Cycling is a great therapy, making trips of up to 100 km and better above it is time to be with yourself or with your friends and there can never be too much of a good thing! Kilometers are just numbers for statistics, whereas the emotions gained are fuel for the heart. My motto is “Life on the bike is happy.”
De Rosas Mission
The De Rosa brand has combined everything we love the most — cycling and cycling, in a word — cycling communities. The bikes produced by De Rosa are elegant, dynamic and characterized by a certain artistic sophistication, created thanks to the unique and rich history of this brand and the careful design process with which De Rosa has been creating all its bikes for more than 70 years.
Our philosophies coincide — whatever you do, do from the heart. We want to offer this wonderful experience also to cycling enthusiasts here in the Baltics and invite you to reach new heights with De Rosa.
De Rosa and Velomens
Over the years spent in the cycling business, there have been frequent recurring questions that we have not always had a quick answer to. “I would like to ride, but I don't have a bike.” And vice versa — “I have a bike, but there is no company to travel with.” In trying to solve these problems, we came to the conclusion that we did not have a suitable bike to offer interested parties.
Search and exploration brought us to Italy at De Rosas, and now, thanks to the collaboration between De Rosa and Velomen, we can recommend and offer both these charming bikes and new and exciting bike tours around the world!
