Bizi Cycle Tours is born to offer you premium cycling tours in the Basque Country<\/strong>. And it has come about at the same time as the birth of our son Luka. That\u2019s life! Embarking on this project that was whirling in my head for so many years and another of my great wishes, if not the most important, becoming a mother, is now a dream come true. And so, my two babies have come hand in hand.<\/p>\n

However, like I said, it is not something that came out of the blue. About 6 years ago, when I was finishing my career as a professional triathlete, I dreamed of showing the beauty of my province Bizkaia and all its surroundings by bicycle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The timing wasn\u2019t right; tourism did not have the impetus it has now, it was more transitory, a visit to the Guggenheim Bilbao museum<\/a><\/strong>, a good meal and not much more… and that discouraged me. Added to the fact that I was “alone”, in the midst of transition from the professional sports world to the real world and lacking in confidence, it made me put the project on hold.<\/p>\n

In recent years I have been looking for my niche and it has taken me a while to get there. I have had the opportunity to work with Elisa Gonzalez and great colleagues at Gyrotonic<\/a><\/strong> Bilbao and after a demanding training, gained work experience.<\/p>\n

However, the idea was still hovering in my head. We are now in 2019, a year in which tourism, Bilbao and the Basque Country in general, is in constant growth. Cycling as a form of enjoyment<\/strong>, beyond the competitive one, is on the increase. So, I felt that it was now or never. In addition, there was a very important factor, the support and confidence placed in me and the project of my partner, the other 50% of Bizi Cycle Tours<\/strong>, Ander. With an enviable working background and, above all, a continuous entrepreneurial spirit, he believed in me, in the idea, and so we decided to embark on the adventure together.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
