🥇🥈🥉 On two wheels to the top: Austria is also a frontrunner in cycling - remember Anna Kiesenhofer, who sensationally won Olympic gold in the road race in 2021? Four Austrian cyclists are also partaking at this year's Olympics in Paris. 🚲 Tomorrow's two-wheel athletes are already passionate about their equipment from a young age. And a provider from Austria is a global leader in this field. Introducing woom. The success story of this bicycle manufacturer from Vienna started ten years ago: two bike-loving fathers - industrial designer Christian Bezdeka and marketing professional Marcus Ihlenfeld - were on the hunt for the perfect bicycle for their children. Unable to find what they were looking for on the market, they decided to build it themselves. In a garage in Vienna, they founded their start-up and reinvented the children's bike. With low weight, timeless design, high-quality components, and geometry adapted to children's needs, woom bikes set new standards in premium children's bicycles. In just a few years, woom has evolved from an insider tip to the market leader. Today, woom is well-known far beyond the borders of Austria. In over 30 countries, kids are already riding on more than 1 million woom bikes. 📢 Find out more about Austrian top solutions and innovations in sports equipment and technology at: https://bit.ly/3Yo6Fcb __________________________ Enjoyed this Post?
