Bridging the Gap

The Patta Cycling Team doesn’t race. But they are winning.
A group of people who perform interdependent tasks to work toward accomplishing a common mission or specific objective.
A pioneer in European streetwear, Patta is an original. Their take on cycling is original, too.
The Patta Cycling Team is a group of riders and creatives who are challenging the standards of how a cycling team forms, looks, and operates. They don’t compete in races. Rather, they assemble on the basis of their common denominator: a love for riding, for each other, and for their community. Their highest hope is to make cycling more accessible to more people, regardless of background. This collective is the result, and its growth is the team’s ongoing victory in connecting the dots between people not often associated with cycling.
In this effort, the team rides by four key tenets:
One more road to cross, one more risk to take.
Love for each and everyone around us.
Education is key.
Teamwork is paramount.
Starting in Amsterdam before expanding further afield, the Patta Cycling Team will be hosting community workshops, rides, and virtual riding challenges for anyone to join. Watch this space for more details on how to get involved.
