about

Nazareno moved from Buenos Aires to Berlin in 2015. He bought a bike to move around the city — and it stuck for good. For four years, he worked as a courier, riding long hours every week. Enough time on the street to understand how bikes are meant to be used, and how they really work.

In 2020, an accident wrecked his bike. He bought a second-hand bike that needed repairs and brought it back to life with the help of a mechanic friend. That was the click. Bikes stopped being just something to ride and became something to fix, adjust, and rethink. The work started at home, moved to basements, and eventually needed a real place.

In 2021, that place became Blaulicht Bike Club — a workshop in Wedding.

Santiago, also from Buenos Aires, moved to Berlin in 2021. He grew up around bikes — his father raced competitively — but spent years away from them. A vintage restoration project pulled him back in. While trying to sell his bike, he met Nazareno. Spending time at Blaulicht, they began sharing a vision, working together, and becoming each other’s complement: mechanic and design, strategy and organization.

Today, Blaulicht is a place for building bikes with a clear purpose. We work with what already exists, giving bicycles a second, upgraded life and putting them back where they belong — on the street, ridden every day.
