Why did I create Lifesparkz Bike Tours?
It all began in the early Spring 2015 when I had my first cycling experience in Nice. It was not on the bright side!
I was living in Copenhagen at the time, training for the IRONMAN and needed a break from the dreary Danish weather. I decided to travel to beautiful Nice, where I knew I could find amazing landscapes to discover by bike. Having visited Nice on numerous occasions for holidays, it simply became like a second home to me.
Mission set, I packed my road bike so that I could explore all that this beautiful region had to offer. Yet, as I had unpacked my bike, I felt alone on my quest as I was not familiar with the good cycling routes and the road traffic simply frightened me!
I searched the internet to find a local bike guide to help me with my venture, yet the options available to me were either too expensive, had fixed itineraries or only took groups. So I skipped it.
Days of my holiday passed by, soon I would have to return to Copenhagen. I finally found the courage to go out on the bike and strolled down the cycling path along the Promenade des Anglais. I gazed upon the magnificent azur ocean and loved pedaling along the true Côte d’Azur. Yet, suddenly out of the blue it turned into a day with a thunderstom and heavy hail!. So my cycling adventure became a very brief one on that holiday.
Yet, I did get a hunger for more cycling here.
The idea of Lifesparkz Bike Tours was born due to this experience of cycling in unknown territory and the lack of flexibility and affordability with the existing guided bike tours in Nice. Soon after my trip, I made the decision to move to Nice to cycle in this stunning and challenging landscape and to set up Lifesparkz Bike Tours.
What drives Lifesparkz Bike Torus is sharing my adventurous passion to explore this beautiful region by bike with others because there are so many hidden gems to discover! You find landscapes, people and villages here that are unique and make you want to return for more – or never leave.
Get in touch and we will design your personal bike tour together. We guide in English, French or Danish.
Looking forward to biking with you!
