Bisiklopedi is an independent platform dedicated to documenting, developing, and sharing cycling culture.
Founded in 2016, its goal has never been simply to become another website containing technical information about bicycles. Instead, it aims to build a lasting knowledge base and cultural archive for cycling in Türkiye.
🚲 Why Does It Exist?
Reliable and well-organized information about cycling is often difficult to find. Technical knowledge is scattered across different sources, while valuable experiences are frequently lost within social media posts.
Bisiklopedi was created to bring this dispersed body of knowledge together and make it accessible to everyone through a single, organized platform.
Our mission is to build a living encyclopedia where anyone can find information on virtually every aspect of cycling—from A to Z.
📚 What Does It Offer?
Bisiklopedi brings together a wide variety of content, including:
- Cycling terminology and glossary entries
- Technical guides
- Maintenance and riding information
- Touring and route articles
- History and culture
- Interviews
- Blog posts
- Festival and event archives
By combining these different fields, it seeks to serve both beginners and experienced cyclists.
🗺️ Building a Collective Memory
Bisiklopedi is not only about today's cycling world.
It also aims to preserve Türkiye's cycling heritage by documenting festivals, tours, cycling groups, and cultural initiatives for future generations.
In this sense, it is more than an information website—it is a living archive.
✍️ Created Together
Bisiklopedi does not grow through the efforts of a single individual.
It evolves through the collective contributions of writers, photographers, cycling communities, event organizers, and countless users who share their ideas and experiences.
Every contribution becomes a new piece of this shared memory.
🌱 Today and Tomorrow
Bisiklopedi is a continuously evolving project.
Its content is regularly updated, new modules are developed, cycling groups and events are documented, and multilingual support is being expanded to reach a wider international audience.
Our goal is not simply to build a larger website, but to become a common platform for cycling knowledge and culture.
💚 Stronger Together
The greatest strength of Bisiklopedi is not its content, but the community that creates, preserves, and enriches it.
For this reason, Bisiklopedi is more than a website—it is a shared home for people who believe in growing cycling culture together.
We extend our sincere thanks to all the companions and communities who are part of this journey.
