A cycling enthusiast comes to 麻豆传媒映画on business. He or she could work out at their hotel gym but that would be boring, especially in a city known for its beautiful vistas. But where to ride when you only have a few hours to spare?
That鈥檚 where Musette Tours comes in.
It offers guided, customized rides that can last anywhere from two hours up and down Cypress or a trip up the Sea to Sky highway to Whistler or an overnighter to the Gulf Islands or the Okanagan. You can be a Type-A elite cyclist or someone just starting to explore the world on the seat of Musette Tours鈥� Pinarello rental bike. The company also offers guided hiking tours for those who prefer their feet on the ground.
鈥淚 had one guy from Australia who showed up in jeans and running shoes. He was 250 pounds, bearded and we rode to Horseshoe Bay and back,鈥� says founder Thomas Eleizegui, who also owns Vancouver鈥檚 first caf茅 for cyclists, Musette Caffe. 鈥淗e almost killed himself but he said it was the most fun he鈥檇 had.鈥�
Although Eleizegui doesn鈥檛 have a formal partnership with ,, a 麻豆传媒映画bike shop that custom-makes bicycles using components from some of the cycling world's best brands, he shares a business and life ethic with Phil Liu.
鈥淲e鈥檙e not here to judge anyone,鈥� Eleizegui says. 鈥淲e鈥檙e here to ensure people have a good time. It鈥檚 cycling for the love of it. You can enjoy the culture and the riding, period. For most people it can be intimidating to walk into a bike shop. You walk into Phil鈥檚 place and even though he has $30,000 bikes, he鈥檒l treat you like any other person. You won鈥檛 be snubbed.鈥�
Musette Tours operates out of the caf茅's new location at 1325 Burrard Street.
