Lifesparkz Bike Tours was founded by Tina Baltzer in 2016 out of a passion for sharing and promoting cyclism in the Nice region. She is the organiser of tours and guides easy and medium sportive rides as well as leisure tours.
Tina is a Danish Nicoise. Growing up in Denmark, she learned to ride a bike as soon as she learned how to walk. Tina got her first bike, when she was 2-years old. She has been riding a bike almost every day since, although she did not get her first racer bike until 2008.
Tina enjoys having an active life and became fond of triathlon in 2013. She has participated in multiple full and half Ironman in Europe plus various cyclosportives in the Alps-Maritimes. Her main objective for cycling at the time being is merely to discover more of the local region and have fun by bike.

One of my favourite local rides is up to the village Peille - Cycling about 25 km from Nice, up some 650 meters climb and find this magic place where time seems to stand still. In a few hours of cycling from the busy Côte d'Azur you find these spots full of beauty and tranquility. Quality of life is having the freedom to ride your bike and feel life throughout your body and soul as you climb into these majestic mountains: Les Alpes-Maritimes.
