Sumario:The Geobike Project is an initiative that aims to take advantage of the geological potential of a given region, using bicycle as a mobility instrument to stimulate and disseminate Geosciences for students and professionals of the academic area and for enthusiasts in Earth Sciences, as well. The initial proposal of this study is the municipality of Campinas, São Paulo State. Despite the intense urban occupation, Campinas still has extensive rural areas with very different landscapes, where igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks outcrop. This setting is propitious to the practice of alternative fieldwork and the diffusion of geoscientific knowledge, at the complementary academic level or at the university extension level, with the possibility of the outcrops being used by students of elementary school and high school levels. Therefore, the Geobike Project can be associated with Geotourism and Geoeducation, encompassing all educational levels.
