자전거는 환경을 파괴하지 않는 운송수단일뿐만 아니라 건강을 유지하기 위한 좋은 수단으로 널리 알려저 있다. 하지만 많은 사람들은 나븐날씨나 땀에 젖은 몸으로 친구를 만나는 것때문에 자전거 타기를 망설일때가 있다. 브라질 자전거 수리점이자 카페인 Aro 27은 자전거를 안전하게 세울 주차장과 샤워시설을 고객들에게 제공하고 있다.

자전거 카페는 이제 새로운 것이아니다. 전세계적으로 많은 곳에서 자전거를 타는 사람들을 위한 음식과 음료 휴식처를 제공하고 있다. Aro27은 레스토랑뿐만 아닌 자전거용품이나 자전거를 수리할수있는 수리점을 설치해 놓았다. 고객들은 Aro27에 안전하게 자전거를 주차하고 새로운 투어를떠나기전 샤워를 할수있다. Aro27은 상파울로에 위치하고 있으며 주중 7시부터 8시까지, 일요일은 4시까지 영업을 한다.

Cycling is widely accepted to be a good way to keep fit while also travelling without damaging the environment, however many people are put off by safety concerns, poor weather, or by turning up to meet a friend covered in sweat. Brazilian café and bicycle repair shop Aro 27 is now hoping to deal with the last complaint, offering commuters showering facilities as well as a place to safely park their bike.

Bicycle cafés aren’t a new thing, and there are now numerous locations around the world that provide cyclists with a place to enjoy a break with some food and drink, as well as bond with others that share their passion. In order to cater fully for its niche clientele, Aro 27 functions not only as a restaurant, but also a shop to buy cycling equipment and a repair center and workshop to fix punctures or more serious problems. Visitors are able to park their bike in Aro 27′s secure storage and even enjoy a shower to freshen up before they hit the road again. Situated in the center of São Paulo, the café is open from 7am until 8pm on a weekday and until 4pm on a Sunday.

We recently wrote about the city’s La Repas bistro, which rewards bike-owning diners with a free meal, and Aro 27 is now one more of the growing number of high street facilities that is encouraging bike use in Brazil. Are there other ways your business could cater for the cycling crowd?
