ARD SCHENK | SPEED SKATING
Training on the bike is a normal procedure for today’s skaters. In my time, cycling was fairly uncommon and as I was a good runner I did a lot of running. Cycling is very good training for skating and it’s been proved by my 10 year international sporting career; 4x Dutch Champion All-round, 3 x European Champion All-round, 3 x World Champion All-round, European and World Champion in the ISSL (1973), 18x World record holder, 4x Sportsman of the year, 3x winner of the Oscar Mathisen Award, 3x Gold medalist & 1x Silver medalist at the Olympic Games. My fascination for cycling came at a later age and riding the bike I feel relaxed, free, and it’s a good solution when you are having problems training with certain injuries as there is less stress on the body. In my opinion BeOne is exceptional when it comes to design and choice of materials. The brand BeOne is driven by a young dynamic group of sports minded people. BeOne supports me to stay in good condition and health!
AMBASSADORS DAPHNY VAN DEN BRAND | CYCLING
After 25 years of cycling I can say that I had a successful cycling career. I have taken part in competitive cycling and cyclocross since I was 8 years old and overall I had several excellent results. My first contact with BeOne Bikes was during the 1997 season and I rode BeOne for several years after. In my last year as professional cyclist I won the European title with a superlight carbon BeOne Cyclocross bike. I am proud of being a BeOne ambassador and supporting the brand.
