Welcome to an official site of Koenig.Bicycle team. One of the purposes of creating this site was to find people who may join our bicycle trips. We are always glad with your participation.

Please note, that news and some other pages on this site are machine-translated, and therefore the style is not very facile. Also, most of the news are shown only on russian page.
