We Ride With Purpose. Powered by People.
Pedal for Purpose is more than a bike ride—it's a human-powered movement for change. Our mission is to connect communities, raise vital funds, and spotlight the causes that matter most. From the first pedal stroke in Estonia to the final coast into Gibraltar, we’re driven by compassion, solidarity, and the belief that ordinary people can have extraordinary impact.
Turning passion into motion, and motion into change.

Spanning over 7,000 kilometers and dozens of communities, our route from Estonia to Gibraltar sparks awareness, builds connections, and inspires global support.
Riding Together, Reaching Further
At 2wheels4purpose, unity is our momentum. Our journey is powered by a diverse team of cyclists, volunteers, organizers, and supporters. Each contributor bringing their unique strength to the road. It’s not just about covering distance; it’s about moving forward as one. Collaboration fuels resilience, amplifies impact, and turns a shared mission into measurable change. Together, we go farther, for the causes we believe in and the people we ride for.
