Rox lives in the heart of Hong Kong history and loves it. She resides in Kam Tin Shui Tau Village, one of the villages we visit on our Bike Hong Kong's Wild Side tour! Besides cycling Rox loves learning all about Hong Kong's history and singing karoake!
Rox is a specialist leader for our Biking Hong Kong's Wild Side. Fluent in Cantonese and English she is a village resident from our stomping ground in the NW New Territories. She loves getting out with other cyclists and has even formed her own village cycling club!
Tim is a Hong Kong hometown boy, who spends any spare moment riding his bike! Able to make friends with anyone, he is a joy to be around. Tim leads our local Chinese speaking school trips, as well as cycling adventures filled with Chinese speaking participants. He is a specialist on our Castle House Tour, as well as Biking Hong Kong's Wild side.
Tim is our founder and jack-of-all-trades. Occasionally, you will find him leading an adventure tour and loving it, just as much as the first time he rode through China in 1984. Tim hails from small town Oregon, USA, but has spent over half his life in Hong Kong or China. We don't let him lead any of the hiking trips, because at his walking pace... well let's put it this way, he is faster on a bike. Tim speaks Cantonese and Mandarin dialects, as well as American English.
Yohann hails from France and is our Hiking specialist. He has led numerous hikes on the Wild Wall, Tiger Leaping Gorge and Mount Huang. He is also an avid cyclist and leads our bike tours throughout south and west China and Tibet. Yohann loves his cheese and no matter where he is in the world, he always seems to find the best, and most stinky. He is also fond of Tibetan Yak Butter Tea and Tsampa, and that makes him perfect for this line of work.
Arthur grew up in Hong Kong but his heart knows no border. He lived in the US and NZ shortly during his high school years and then Europe and North Africa. Geography and history documentaries are what keeping him up at night when he should be sleeping. He has gone to 2 Salons du Chocolat and he will tell you where to find the best chocolate in town according to your preference and budget. He has been learning French for a few years and is conversational, but if you speak too fast he may explode, so do it with care. One of the craziest thing he has done was riding his mountain bike on the highway in Spain. Never fully trust Google map in Spain. Arthur is one of our Bike Hong Kong's Wild Side leaders.
For many years Junior has made his home in Macau and China. He hails from Brasil and his favorite food is Gnocchi. Junior is our specialist in Hainan Island and Castle House Tours. He is also experienced in leading Tibetan and Guizhou bike trips. Junior is great to be around, with a great laugh and sense of humor, as well as sincerity in service.
Abu is our main guide with trips into Sichuan and Tibet. With a background in mechanical engineering, itās no surprise he has built a fleet of bamboo bikes! We use these bikes on the four-day trip through Tibetan villages in scenic North Sichuan. Abu is Chinese and grew up in the Tibetan regions. His understanding of the Tibetan terrain and culture is unmatched.
Ahmadul is our man in Sabah, Malaysia. He and his brothers work together to make a fun loving team! In his younger days, Ahmadul represented Malaysia in Triathlons. He has learned to slow down a bit for our groups, adding to everyone's enjoyment. Ahmadul is experienced in climbing Mt. Kinabalu, cycling Fraser Ridge, navigating the Padas River, and is an expert in wildlife and bird recognition.

The bottom line is people are amazing. Everyone brings something unique to the table. Our practice is to avoid exploitation or discrimination in any circumstance, and to support local initiatives, so that the local entrepreneur benefits most.
We are continually learning about limited resources in Asia, especially considering the large population. Environmentally speaking, on the tours our aim is to leave very small footprintsā¦ or tire tracks. Small details are important, such as using 5-gallon refillable drums of water and bike bottles, instead of small plastic water bottles. In addition we carry all of our garbage to larger cities where they can handle it. There are several charities that we work with, especially during our School tours, where we combine fantastic cycling and hiking, with āhands onā helping within the local communities.
Here are the names of some of the charities we have really enjoyed working with:
Caring for the Future Malaysia
