A life on 2-wheels

Living in the mountains of Europe’s last great wilderness, the Carpathian Mountains, Alex is ideally placed to ride bikes – and he does it better than most. A qualified mountain bike guide, ski and outdoor adventure instructor, this engineer by education has chosen instead to immerse himself in the mountains, dedicating his life to helping others to find their own outdoor lifestyle.

As a professional mountain bike rider and guide, Alex knows how kit should perform and what a great trail should ride like, He’ll be bringing this vast experience to our website from 2025 onwards, having been one of our MTB Guide partners and advisors previously. Along with his partner, Teo, a fellow outdoor instructor and cyclist, these inspirational athletes and writers from the mountains of Romania will be showing you the unparalleled trails in this magical place, along with where to stay, what kit to wear along the way – including the apre-ride and cultural spots.

And, if you’d like Alex and Teo to guide you into the vast Carpathian Mountains, then simply get in touch.

I want to inspire you to be the very best version of yourself, to be independent-minded, free-spirited and adventurous. Life is not a dress rehearsal, and so let’s take a look at the brighter side – on 2-wheels! Join me and let’s chat some cycling stuff and ride bikes!

Three days – three mountains – Riding Romania by Mountain Bike

Some trips stand out not just for the trails, but for the stories that unfold along the way. Our first trip with Peter from Ireland was one of those special ones — three unforgettable days of riding across the best trails around Păltiniș and Rășinari, filled with breath-taking views, great conversations, and the kind of mountain magic that reminds us why we love doing this.

Riding the best Mountain Biking Trails in Romania and making friends

Every great ride tells a story — about the trails, the people, and the moments in between. Our first trip with Chris from the UK and John from South Africa was exactly that kind of story: two unforgettable days of mountain adventure, world-class riding, and the kind of camaraderie that only comes from sharing the trail.

The cycling industry is always talking about inspiration, yet in so many different ways. WE here about great wattage power and great bikes and how people look. However, it's all just bullshit really. When we press pause and think about it, inspiration comes in so many seemingly ordinary ways; alongside of course, some truly inspiring indivuals who ride their bikes quietly challenging themselves.

Bike Box Alan EasyFit on Team Training Camp

It can be difficult to transport the bike abroad. It’s precious and important, our bike, and we don’t want it damaged . It’s often very difficult and inconvenient to disassemble the entire bike into pieces, and then to put it in a cardboard bike box. It’s not very well protected, and complicated to transport and takes up a lot of unnecessary space. - welcome to the Easy Fit, from Bike Box Alan
