Welcome to Cuba 8, a nonprofit bicycle advocacy project in Havana, Cuba. We are part of Artecorte, a local development nonprofit organization, and our goal is to promote the use of bicycles, contribute to the development of healthy habits on the Cuban population and to stimulate the bicycle culture as a means for socialization.

Why Cuba 8?
Cuba 8, located on the number 8 of Cuba street, in Old Havana, was the most famous bicycle shop in Havana, open from 1942 to the early ’80s.
As part of our work to rescue and preserve the history of our community, Artecorte researched its history and brought it back to life in the form of a nonprofit bicycle advocacy project aimed to promote the use of bicycles in Cuba.
