“Cycling has been my passion since I was 14 years old and I now love teaching people to ride. I love showing people what they can enjoy on a bike. I love being a part of people’s journey of overcoming fears and feeling excited and proud of themselves. I love it when these new, ‘never cycled before’ people become hooked on their bicycle. I love it when people’s eyes are opened up to a whole other world of freedom, endorphins, relationships and happiness. I love how the simple act of ‘learning to ride’ turns into so much more!”

I am most excited to be the official Ambassador for the GCCC Active Travel program so I can help people enjoy making an active step towards a happier, healthier, more productive lifestyle. The Active Travel program is a fantastic initiative as it is mostly about people embracing a positive change in their life – to be out and about feeling alive, soaking up the beautiful Gold Coast for a ride/walk/run or meeting others and being social. Being active on our way to work can boost our mental capacities to be more productive for the rest of the day, and we are doing our bit for the environment, traffic congestion, our wallet, and of course our health and happiness.
