The Cycling Tours Team

The Cycling Tours philosophy

From the owners of Cycling Tours Braden Currie & Sally Schott
After spending our whole lives traveling the world and spending every spare minute in the outdoors, we decided to create a business that offers people an outdoor experience centered on freedom of choice. Because that is how we like to travel!
Our freedom cycle tours allow our clients to experience the best cycling experience a destination has to offer, when they want to and how they want to. With all the planning taken care of, all you have to do is sit back, spin your legs and ride. We believe it’s your journey and your experience and our job is simply to provide you with the ingredients to make it the best active holiday you have ever had.

Braden Currie – Operations Manager / Guide

"Currie’s gnarly knees and whippet-like physique indicate he’s no stranger to a wet saddle – or coming off one occasionally."
Roderick Eime, Sunday Telegraph

Braden Currie is a hearty kiwi true and true. His inherent passion for the outdoors and giving his body a good thrashing are evident upon meeting him. He grew up on a farm in Canterbury New Zealand, started traveling the world at 17, spent several years guiding a range of outdoor activities. He is now an avid multi-sport athlete, racing in Australia’s anaconda series and the world renound one day Coast to Coast.

Glen Hannan - Byron Bay Guide

Club. He has 20 years of local knowledge and is the technical director for several local cycling events.

He also has a long history of touring the world backpacking, trekking and cycle touring. He enjoys being able to offer others the opportunity to experience his home area by bike and is able to empathise and advise from experience.

Glen Currie – NZ Guide

Glen is Braden’s older brother. Glen is also a passionate, dedicated multisport athlete. In his first year of competing, he came 24th in the biggest multisport race in the world. “The coast to coast.” Since then he has taken out many events in NZ. Glen’s dedication to thrashing his body and challenging his mental integrity are second to none. But on the flip side, he’s often seen at the famous blue pub in Methven sipping on some brewskies with his mates and enjoying the winter sunshine after a casual days snowboarding at Mt Hutt. Glen is truly a genuine lover of all things kiwi! He loves his homeland and thrives on the opportunity to share its hidden beauties and iconic gems with everyone he comes in contact with. Just be careful he doesn’t convince you to take up multisport.

Regan Turner - NZ guide

Regan is our top of the south NZ guide. The top of the south is one big playground for him. Being an avid hunter, fisherman, snowboarder and multi-sporter fills in any spare time he has. Like Braden and Glen, Regan is also a member of the "Coast to Coast" club, having done the longest day race in 2011. Since then he has ticked off a number of 'bucket list' races in New Zealand. Next on the list is an Ironman, some would say he is not right in the head, but we think he is a legend!!!! His knowledge of the top of the south is invaluable to us, he knows the best vineyards, coffee shops, beaches, rivers, mountains and everything else that makes this part of New Zealand as amazing as it is.

Adam Dickenson - Tasmanian Guide

Adam is a sixth generation Tasmanian farmer. Growing up in the mountains of north eastern Tasmania he quickly developed a passion for all forms of outdoor sport. Having travelled the world he is now once again at home on on the land. When he's not mustering stock or fixing a tractor, he can be found racing around his island state with a ute load of bikes, boards or boats in search of his next adventure.
