Johan Wagenaar

Owner Johan Wagenaar of Bike Sensations

I’m the proud owner of Bike Sensations. 10 years ago I left the Netherlands without a penny in my pocket. At this moment I have 4 locations, and over 450 rental bikes (a wide variety of bikes). I am proud that I finished the full Ironman 5 times! I do my work with passion, positivisme, love and experience. You can see me always with a big smile everywhere on the island!

Ilse

Hola! My name is Ilse and I am from the Netherlands but Lanzarote is my home. The ambiance of the island, the beautiful cycling routes, nature and the climate give me the feeling that I’m living in paradise! In my spare time I love cycling, swimming, diving and I enjoy the nice sunsets on the beach! I love to show you my passion for Lanzarote. When you come with me on the E-bike tour you will receive all informations and fun facts about the island that you will not read in the books from me! You can see me guiding an E-bike tour or working in one of the shops in Puerto del Carmen! Hasta pronto!

Hi, my name is Paul and I am from Ireland. I have lived on this beautiful island for almost 13 years and I call it my home now. I have worked as a bike guide and mechanic for most of my time here and I enjoy meeting people from all over the world. I enjoy water sports also and spend many hours in the glorious ocean. I will be here to help you in the shop in Playa Blanca. And I can also give you advice on local attractions. And I know all the cycle routes on the island! Looking forward to meet you soon!

Gary

Hi, my name is Gary. I am originally from Newcastle in the north east of England and I have been living in Lanzarote since 2015. My passion for cycling came late to me, every year I would watch the Tour de France on TV and promise I would buy myself a road bike but waited too long as once I started riding I regretted not doing it a lot earlier as I immediately enjoyed the challenge. My favourite ride on the island is the coastal road form the Salinas de Janubio to El Golfo. The road is fabulous and the scenery spectacular, I never tire of it. When you visit us, hopefully I will get the opportunity to show it to you”
