About us

OUR STORY

  • Founded in 2013 by Aigars Paegle, who left a successful career in banking to follow his passion for cycling, HC Bike Tours began with a dream: to help cyclists experience the very best of Europe’s routes, from legendary climbs in the Alps and Pyrenees to hidden gems off the beaten path.
  • Over the years, we’ve grown into specialists in private, custom bike tours across Europe, with a strong base in Mallorca offering expert local cycling services and authentic island experiences.
  • We proudly welcome return clients from the USA, Australia, and beyond organising unforgettable trips for groups of friends, families, and help corporate partners, making the entire planning process smooth and stress-free.

OUR MISSION

  • We believe cycling is more than a sport - it’s a way to connect with places, people, and passions.
  • Our mission is to create personalised, seamless cycling adventures throughout Europe and Mallorca that let you focus on the ride, while we handle the rest.

OUR VALUES

Passion

  • Cycling drives everything we do, and we love sharing that passion with every guest.

Personalisation

  • Your tour, your pace, your preferences customised to create your perfect experience.

Community & Connection

  • We support and promote local small businesses - bakeries, agriturismos, boutique hotels, and restaurants - offering authentic, enriching experiences beyond the ride.

Sustainability

  • We cycle responsibly, honouring the landscapes and communities we visit.
