► About Cycle to ADE:
Not a new concept, has been running for 4 years now and usually as a physical ride brings industry from across the world together riding from iconic european cities to Amsterdam for the week of ADE, previous locations include Berlin, London & Paris. More than 90 riders have participated and these rides have raised over €130,000 to build the academy.
► Fundraising Purpose:
With the funds raised by all the riders over the past few years, a new pioneering school, the Bridges Academy was built and opened in 2019. Located in the township of Langa (South Africa), an underserved black community in the outskirts of Cape Town.

The school rapidly became a home for many local young creatives who now have access to safe and world-class facilities like recording studios or fully equipped computer rooms and more importantly revolutionary programs on entrepreneurial skills, mindfulness, music production, DJing, coding and robotics.
Bridges for Music’s aim is to raise the capital needed to provide education to 80 students in 2021 and get through these tough times.
