Filming Continues In Everglades For Stradalli Cycle TV Show

Filming of the new Stradalli Cycle reality TV show for the German television station RTL continues today in the Everglades. That didn’t stop the Stradalli-Bike Aid riders from continuing their training however as they rode to the Everglades and back for the shoot.

The day began with filming at the warehouse where the pro cyclists got a chance to check out some new MTB’s. Later they were joined by German celebrity Metisha Schafer for a shoot down in Miami in 363 Photopia, an impressive studio.

Then it was on to the Everglades to meet the alligators. The weather was perfect, sunny with a slight breeze but most of the film crew managed to avoid getting sun burnt thanks to plenty of sun screen. The team and German visitors were blown away by the sudden change in scenery going from an elite studio in Miami to the Everglades with water, alligators and beautiful scenery all around.

Finally they ended the day with some filming in Boca Raton with shots at the beach. You may see a few surprise guest celebrities in the show and plenty of other South Florida locations including Markham Park where the team filmed some racing footage with Stradalli Cycle mountain bike rider Bob McCarty. They showed off their skills and a few tricks on the 650b full carbon full suspension mountain bikes.

There will be plenty more updates and exciting news about the show coming up from Stradalli Cycle.

Stradalli Cycle - Bike Aid Will Continue Inspiring Charity Work In Africa

You may not know the difference between a Wal-Mart bicycle and a full carbon road bike but you do know about the devastation and poverty that is day to day life in many countries of Africa. There are hundreds of charitable organizations trying to help and a great example is Bike Aid, a German cycling club with over 600 members who help to bring aspiring cyclists to Europe.

The Conti Team has races all over the globe in hopes to raise awareness of their cause and in only two years they have real success stories they can be proud of. Mekseb Debesay, one of the young cyclists from Africa who was given an opportunity to race in Europe because of Bike Aid has signed on to be a teammate of Mark Cavendish for team Dimension Data in the World Tour.

“The story of Debesay is a great success for him as well as for our cause. It is always a challenge to try and educate people on what you are doing and why they should support you but when you have true success stories you can start showing them results for their efforts. With the success of the program we are getting more attention and help than we ever thought possible in such a short period of time and we are excited that 2016 is expected to be our biggest season yet with more African cyclist on the team than before and we will also have the help of our new title and bike sponsor Stradalli Cycle from America.” Bike Aid Racer Spokesman Matthias Schnapka

The full carbon bike manufacturer from Florida has been looking to sponsor a Conti Team for a while but took a special interest in Bike Aid because of what they represent.
