| Who we are…
CarpatBike is organised
and lead by Oana Soare and Ionut Maftei. It's the result of
an idea fuelled in the autumn 2005 after grabbing some coffee
in the afternoon break of two young career people. As keen
bike travelers, we said that we could something more with
this passion and started thinking of sharing it with the others
along with promoting Romanian tourism. We’re really
pleased we are able to offer to you these tours and we sincerely
hope you will enjoy having a bike ride with us.

“
We started CarpatBike to share with others the unique
way in which biking on and off road, lets the adventurous
traveler discover the wild and intact landscapes, history

| “Although
I grew up like lots of children loving to ride my bike
in the countryside at my grandparents, it was only at
the university in Leuven, a small university town in Belgium,
that I discovered the fun and potential biking my have.
Later on, coming back to Romania I started traveling with
many friends on bike in the Carpathians….this is
how it all started….” Oana |
