Implementing and consolidating the neoliberal economic model had as consequences the accentuated precariousness of work in Brazil and the increase in inequalities. The large number of people living in socioeconomic vulnerability and the search to overcome this situation has led to the emergence of alternatives to income generation. These alternatives have promoted exploitative practices such as the uberization of labor, although they have also contributed to driving other economies. The CicloPedaleiros Solidarity Economy Enterprise seeks, by making bicycle deliveries, to enable income generation for adults on the margins of the labor market and subject to unemployment and informality. This article aimed to identify and understand the educational processes that arise from the social practice of bicycle delivery based on the actions of this enterprise. We used participant research, systematization of observations through field diaries, and analysis based on phenomenology for the methodology. Three thematic categories emerged from the analysis: A) “I gone there to speak and said, I am from CicloPedaleiros solidarity economy enterprise”; B) "It is good to wear a helmet just to be sure, at right time you’ll be saved"; and C) “Precariousness is the word of the year.”

Keywords : educational processes; bicycle delivery; solidarity economy.
