With the BCATW 2015 Symposium just one week away, the organization has announced the members of its complete industry panel.
Their discussion will focus on future trends and challenges for writers covering the Ecotourism sector.
Josh Bloomfield of Cycle City Tours
Cycle City Tours was founded by Josh Bloomfield out of a love for touring Vancouver by bike, and a belief that bike rides are always better when shared with friends. Since 2010, they’ve been sharing stories, laughs, and new experiences with riders from Vancouver and around the world.
His guides are passionate, connected Vancouverites who have a love for bike riding, telling stories, and meeting new people, and they tell captivating stories about what’s going on in the city beyond the glimmering glass towers and incredible views. In April of 2015, they expanded into their new home at 1344 Burrard in downtown Vancouver with a fleet of city bikes and family accessories, self-guided tour maps, and expert local advice available from our friendly shop staff. See you on the bike path!
