My name is Alex, I'm a certified ride leader/marshal by the Florida Bicycle Association, and I'm the founder of The Ride Xperience - a bike rental and tour business in Orlando, Fl. I first fell in love with cycling when living at a boarding school in Massachusetts at the age of 15. Spring was just around the corner and the only way I could explore the beautiful coast of Beverly was on a bike. Cycling gave me freedom and the feeling that there were no limits to what and where I could explore. Now living in one of the most visited cities in the world, my mission is to show that there is much more in Orlando than just huge conventions centers and theme parks. At the end of the ride, there is nothing more satisfying to me than to hear from my guests that our cycling experience was the best part of their trip to Orlando. Sorry Mickey ; )
