Guide

My adventure in cycling started with commuting to university in Dublin, setting off a cascade of events where the bike changed the course of my life in just about every way; from keeping me upright after realising working in hospitals wasn’t for me, to transitioning to spending my winters in sunny Gran Canaria, and most of all, meeting my wife Ewa on two wheels!

Originally from Germany, I spent most of my life in Ireland with a brief spell in the UK, and now I’m based in Gran Canaria for the winter, where I work in a bike rental and offer guided bike tours. I spend my summers in Europe and Ireland, guiding tours, touring, and catching up with family.

My wife Ewa and I love long days in the mountains, chasing sunsets behind jagged skylines, touring, sometimes racing, and meeting all sorts of wonderful people out on two wheels. I love supporting people through personal challenges – big or small – looking after all the little things that we might wish for when out for long days on a bike.
