Pin Bike
PIN BIKE's main goal is to promote sustainable urban mobility, cycling and carpooling, with a "gamification" initiative. It is a patented system of monitoring and certification which directly involves the citizens by creating a bridge with the municipality in which they reside. [The initiative is also applicable to institutions or companies with a high number of workers] The project includes partnerships with the municipal administrations, giving them a practical tool for monitoring traffic by bike, and reward the citizens especially in the home / school and home / work trips.
Nico Capogna (CEO)
The idea of ​​certifying the movements by bike, at the base of the Pin Bike system, was born to the CEO and founder Nico Capogna when, four years ago, he went to visit a friend in Belgium, discovering, with great pleasure, that his friend perceived almost € 50.00 a month for the simple fact of riding a bicycle to work. Later he discovered that Belgium was among the precursors in the perspective of mileage reimbursements for sustainable mobility, keeping this form of incentive active, at a systematic level, since 1999, while Italy has managed to align itself with this type of measure ( proved to be highly efficient), only since 2018, thanks to a fund from the Ministry of the Environment.
In the trip to Belgium, Nico Capogna realized that there was no structured and anti-fraud system (beyond human control) to certify and then bestow mobility vouchers, for those who use bicycles in the city, or specifically, in home routes / school and home / work.
