Our Team

I grew up in a small village in the north of Iran, near the Caspian Sea. My greatest joy was riding my bicycle every day after school with my best friend, Eli, balanced on my handlebars.

Sparky grew up in Ottawa and, along with her two sisters, spent many happy hours and days riding her bike, exploring the different parts of Ottawa and it’s hidden gems.

Mike Robinson loves to commute by bicycle along the beautiful Ottawa River from his home in Westboro Village. He moved to Ottawa with his wife Sheilagh after retiring from a 30 year career as a Physical Education and Guidance Teacher in Woodstock Ontario.

Pedaling since the age of 5, David has seen cycling in Ottawa go from a little bit crazy in the 1970s to insanely fun today. As a city councillor, from 2010-18, he was a key player in some challenging decisions that brought more cycling infrastructure to Ottawa. He loves to share how some of the successes were achieved.

Alison worked for the Canadian government for 21 years and now is enjoying the flexibility of working a reduced schedule which gives her time to take our guests to tour the lovely pathways of Ottawa. Her favourite view is the parliament from the Voyageur pathway.

Nora has lived in Ottawa for more than 35 years and has always had a keen interest in her city, its history and happenings. Recently retired from the Federal Public Service, where she held Director and Chief positions, Nora enjoys leading groups and is genuinely interested in people.

Cycling is his #1 passion. The history of Ottawa comes next. So when Denis decided to retire from his finance job in 2019, becoming a tour guide on bicycle was a no brainer. He is passionate about the job and wants to share his passions with you. Denis is currently bike touring in Europe and hopes to re-join the team after his trip.
