Freewheeling Adventures

Submitted by Kim on Friday, 16 November 2007No Comment

I first heard of Freewheeling Adventures at a Nova Scotia tourism conference in 1995. Since then owner Philip Guest has led to the happy rolling of thousands of travelers through Nova Scotia. In fact he has been doing this since 1987 and has branched out to other countries as well.

The idea is that the bicyclists pedal through areas and there is a van which accompanies them and makes sure the travelers get into their accommodations.

If the trips are broken up into regions the van loads up the bikes and the riders and transports them.
