I cannot rate Practice Bicycle Tours highly enough. The company is owned and operated by a couple of hard working Aussies Paul and Bridget. Paul does originally come from England but has since seen the light. Paul has been involved in cycle coaching for a long time and it shows in his teachings along the way. Bridget comes from a family of Australian sports fanatics who excelled in their chosen fields as did she is her cycling career. Together they formed this company called Practice Bicycle Tours based themselves in France and travel all over Europe and Australia to deliver their teachings.
We did the Tour Down Under in January 2023 and learnt so much from them. It you want a cycling holiday that holds no punches then this is the one for you. Highly recommended.

Hi Paul and Bridget
Thank you for chucking my cap back in the post. I remembered when I got home that I was to grab it off you. It was much appreciated! You said you wanted to know when I was back on the bike after Adelaide. I did an hour on the trainer on the Tuesday and been pretty consistent since then. Usually when I get back from a holiday, my zen lasts half a day or so until the stress levels rise back to pre holiday levels… this time I’m not even sure I am back there yet after 6weeks!
Thanks for a fantastic trip, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hopefully our paths cross again.
See you on the road 🙂
Rob – Australia

I’ve just completed my first bike trip with Practice Bicycle Tours at the Tour down Under, they provide such a great comprehensive service that can be made to accommodate every level of cycling from advanced to a bit of a novice like me. Great coaching from both Paul and Bridget and great organisation on other activities too…so glad that coffee, wine and food featured highly on the trip list too!
Highly recommended.
Jess – Australia

My wife organised a Tour down Under Package as a surprise 40th birthday gift, WOW! My mate & I had a fabulous week, eating too much, too many beers, fantastic race viewing, the rides with Paul were great, challenging, and met my ‘wishes’ for the week. Thanks very much.
Owen – UK

What a dream week in Australia! I was looking for some challenging bike riding days, I enjoy bike racing also so the Practice Bicycle bike race trip really appealed to me. I chose the Rides Only TDU Package, it allowed me to join the ride days, meet back up with my wife in the evenings, amazing flexibility, they were so accommodating (secret to a small group!) accomplished my cycling goals, got to meet some super tanned aussie Pros and the enjoyed the ‘down under’ aussie sun (as they call it!) in summer!
Dave – USA

Having ridden in Lake Annecy France with Paul & Bridget, I wanted another goal, January it was. A great ride week in Adelaide at down under tour, tailored rides for the guests abilities, one of them will always ride with you!!! (no getting left behind), fabulous spots on couple of occasions to see the race each day, bespoke wineries after which I loved, great conversation and dinner company, fabulous week!
Mike – Australia

Thanks for the great week at the Tour down Under in Adelaide.
They say they do things a little differently from the rest…Their ‘uniqueness’ lies in how they put it together as we’ve experienced many Cycling Tours before…
Their amazing personalities gave us the most memorable time with a diverse group of people, fabulous hosts, fabulous week, it couldn’t have been better!
Cath – Australia

Thanks for a truly wonderful TDU experience in Adelaide. I must congratulate Practice Bicycle for their professional conduct displayed at all times. Your attitude and commitment throughout the tour never slackened, I salute you!

Harry – Australia

Paul & Bridget run a truly professional set-up, my wife & I participated in their Tour down Under, it was superb. Class restaurants organised throughout the week, variety of wineries (with no rush to leave), pro cycle guiding, their local knowledge and organisation of this week was just fabulous.
Bruce – Australia

I had a great week as a solo traveller with the small group at the tour down under, there was great flexibility with hot weather and moving our ride times to early mornings, (which I appreciated) we travelled by vehicle to see the stages, with very nice restaurant lunches organised in the day and we all chose to enjoy a winery in the area with a tasting and platter and fun conversation after seeing the bike race, really great days.
Angela – Australia

Many, many times have we joined Practice Bicycle Tours for the Tour down Under week, you just know it will be a great week, as a melbournite, we don’t have to think about anything, arrive and just enjoy our week away, with the complete knowledge they will adjust, change, alter to make sure you are happy!
John – Australia

Absolutely, if you would like to tag on an additional extra night or two then select from our optional extras when making your booking.
