What BikeSolutions does

BikeSolutions is a privately held French SARL founded in 2007 and headquartered in Saint-Martin-d'Hères (Grenoble metropolitan area) that designs, engineers, and supervises construction of mountain bike (VTT) infrastructure — including pumptracks, downhill/XC/enduro trails, bike parks, competition venues, and educational learning spaces (Parcs Mobi'Ludiques). The firm co-authored the French AFNOR S52-110 (downhill tracks) and S52-113 (pumptracks) standards and registered the Parcs Mobi'Ludiques trademark jointly with the Fédération Française de Cyclisme. It operates as a holacracy-structured professional services firm of 12+ named practitioners serving municipalities, intercommunalities, ski resorts, national federations, and select private clients across 11 countries.

The company monetizes through project-based fees spanning feasibility studies (from ~€5K), masterplans (€15-25K), complex multi-territory studies (€50K+), pumptrack construction (from €75K HT), Parcs Mobi'Ludiques (from €80K HT), and large bike park projects (€10K to multi-million). Distribution is entirely direct: competitive tendering for public procurement, direct consultation under ASAP 2026 for projects under €100K HT, and long-tenured repeat client relationships (Val d'Isère 11+ years, Trysil 8+ years). Ancillary revenue streams include CQP Patrouilleur VTT training via INSEP/IFV, conference and Mountain Bike Lab event organization, and fees for Stride-type signature design modules.

BikeSolutions has executed approximately 500 projects including the Olympic VTT XCO track at Colline d'Elancourt for Paris 2024 under SOLIDEO and has received the Equerre d'Argent 2025 architecture award and UCI Cycling for All Award 2026. The firm is positioning for a strategic pivot under its Regen 2030 program toward a regenerative economic model, aiming to monetize sport, education, social cohesion, and ecological regeneration rather than infrastructure assets alone. The firm is privately financed with €300,000 share capital, no disclosed institutional investors, and no subsidiaries or M&A activity.

Broad incumbents

• AECOM: Global engineering and infrastructure consultancy with recreation, landscape and active-travel practices. Broader incumbent: handles large-scale cycling/active mobility infrastructure for public clients as part of a wide infrastructure portfolio, rather than cycling-specific specialization.
• Royal HaskoningDHV: European engineering consultancy with active mobility, recreation and landscape architecture practices. Broader incumbent: comparable European footprint to BikeSolutions for public recreation infrastructure, but cycling/MTB is one capability within a much broader portfolio.
• Ecosign: Established Swiss mountain resort and ski area planning consultancy with decades of destination masterplans worldwide. Broader incumbent: overlaps with BikeSolutions' destination masterplanning for ski resorts diversifying into summer cycling, but operates in a wider planning portfolio (urban, transport, ski).
• Decathlon (Btwin Village / Destinations): Global sporting-goods retailer that built its own cycling destination (Btwin Village, Lille) and is both a customer and adjacent ecosystem participant. Broader incumbent: operates cycling destinations commercially rather than as a consultative engineering firm, but sits in the same value chain.
