Darina Balabai
Founder of the project and passionate cyclist.
At 36, I first tried road cycling and soon sought professional coaching to improve my technique. This significantly enhanced my skills, boosted my health, and helped me lose 10 kg. At 38, I qualified for the Granfondo World Championship. By creating this project, I aim to help beginners avoid mistakes and learn to cycle safely. Our team of professional coaches will help you confidently master cycling.
What our clients say about us
Alex Zhuravlev
General partner in Mento vc
Transitioning from running to cycling, I faced several challenges, but Portugal Cycling Academy was exactly where I found the help I needed. The Academy's coaches not only adjusted my bike fitting to make it more efficient and comfortable, but they also significantly improved my aerodynamics. Thanks to their professional approach and guidance on pedaling technique, I was able to greatly increase my endurance and speed. As a result, for the first time in my life, I managed to cover a distance of over 100 km with an elevation gain of 1000 meters. This was an incredible achievement for me, and I am grateful to PCA for their support and expert knowledge!
