Social Impact

In Rotterdam, we believe that such a significant event should also contribute to the city on a social and community level. It is therefore not surprising that beautiful social projects have emerged during and alongside this cycling festival: from the Rotterdams Peloton to bike collection campaigns for Rotterdam children. These initiatives highlight the event’s commitment to fostering community spirit and promoting social well-being.

Together we are working towards a city where dreams come true. The Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift is a powerful testament to what we can achieve when we join forces.
