Exclusive interview with Nathanaël

Tell us about your passion for cycling!

I feel like I was born with bicycle wheels attached to my feet. I’ll remember for the rest of my life the day I fell in a field of nettles when I was trying out the bike I received for my birthday without wheels for the first time. On a more serious note, cycling was always my means of transport during my teenage years and later became a “pleasure sport”. I find that it is rejuvenating and that it brings us back to the essence of simple things… A bike ride is silence, beautiful landscapes, fields of birds…, happiness and… sport! 🙂

How many kilometers do you ride on a daily basis?

I usually ride between 50 and 100 km per day. That can be between 25,000 and 35,000 km per year.

Why did you decide to ride to support the SFE?

I wanted to combine my passion for cycling and competition for a good cause and not just for results in races.

Two friends, Célie and Yannick Wagner, are involved in projects in Laos with the SFE. I have already been able to support their work in different ways. It is therefore quite natural that, beyond the competitive aspect, I wanted to create a series of solidarity challenges in which I participate by bike, with the aim of raising funds for this NGO.

A word to those who read this?

COURAGE IS BEING YOURSELF EVERY DAY IN A WORLD THAT TELLS YOU TO BE SOMEONE ELSE… 🙂

Thank you very much Nathanaël for your commitment to the people of Laos through the work of the SFE!
