Radio Interview: Kate Baker discusses the rapid rise of leisure cycling in Australia

 
Fresh from researching our latest trip, the Capertee Valley Cycle in Comfort tour, our GM Kate Baker sat down for a radio interview with Veronica Matheson from Travel Writers Radio. Hear Kate's thoughts on the rising growth of Australian cycling holidays, the wonderful scenery along the Tour de France, Kate's early career as a bike tour guide in China, and her positive views on e-bikes.
 
Here's the blurb from Travel Writers:
 

Invariably the annual Tour de France throws the world’s sporting focus on to cycling, and as reporter Veronica Matheson learned from Kate Baker of Australian Cycle Tours our passion to get on a bike is growing rapidly around the world as well as in Australia. Australian Cycle Tours, part of World Expeditions Travel Group, has increased its itineraries to meet a growing demand.
