La bicicleta siempre ha sido una vía de escape para mí, una forma de liberarme del estrés del día a día, de plantearme un reto físico y mental, de conocer a gente estupenda y de divertirme a lo grande.
Después de años de estudio, trabajo en el sector de la sostenibilidad y carreras de carretera en el circuito británico, me trasladé de Londres a Gerona para perseguir el sueño del ciclismo profesional.
En lugar de eso, ocurrió algo más increíble: cofundé Eat Sleep Cycle en la capital europea del ciclismo, Gerona.
Creamos y ofrecemos preciosas rutas ciclistas por toda Europa. Nos encanta lo que hacemos y eso se nota en nuestro trabajo.
