Now it’s your turn.
They say it’s not about where you’re going, but who you’re going with.
So, the first step is finding the right friend to share the road with.
The rest? Easy. One pedal stroke at a time, you can go around the world—let alone make it to BAM!
And at BAM!, we know it well: you travel by bike, but you arrive with your heart.

The BAM! program is online — and it’s packed.
Get ready for stories that inspire, group rides that connect, hands-on workshops, dusty-shoe dance parties, pedal-powered films, books, laughter, and late-night conversations.
And of course, the best part: the hugs. Those “I haven’t seen you in forever” kind of hugs.
You’ll find adventurers and dreamers, imaginary maps and real roads, highliners, music, beers, open questions and no right answers.
There’s no schedule you have to follow — no pressure, no rules.
You might spend the whole day under a tree, book in hand. Or ride six times in one day.
You can show up with your scratched-up commuter or your shiny new gravel bike.
What matters is: you show up.
Most of all, we’ll be there together—
a bit disheveled, definitely imperfect,
a little scared, wonderfully free,
smiling, and still hoping to laugh even harder.
Because joy is better than happiness.
See you on the road.

BAM! is free and open to all.
No ticket. Just come.
BUT — if you want to sleep in a tent inside the magical park of Villa Contarini,
you’ll need to reserve your spot in the BAM! Camp.
You can bring your own tent, or book a pre-pitched one or a glamping tent.
It’s worth it, trust us.
The WhatsApp Channel
We finally did it: BAM! has a WhatsApp channel.
We’ll use it to share real-time updates, useful info, last-minute tips,
a few good stories, maybe even a book rec or two.
No spam, no small talk.
In both Italian and English.

“You were more than time,
you were the one who stayed…
until the new day called us,
together, laughing, messy.”
See you in Piazzola sul Brenta,
June 6–8.
Wrong roads make good stories.
