A LITTLE BIT OF
Our History
The Jollie Biker was founded in 2014 by Shell and Stu Paterson, with long-time friends Gaynor and Bruce Sim, their passion to provide both domestic and international travellers within New Zealand, a wonderful adventure, taking in some of the most magical sights that the South Island of New Zealand has to offer.
IT'S ALWAYS
About Passion
Experiencing that passion first-hand riding on the Alps2Ocean with The Jollie Biker, Jude Cathcart loved it so much she bought the Company. With over 24 years in the Tourism Industry in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, Jude understands what it takes to make the perfect holiday and brings her experience to The Jollie Biker and to the Alps2Ocean cycle trail.
Jude discovered the excitement of touring on a bicycle with her first ride in China over ten years ago, where she and her friends quickly discovered it is the best and only way to truly experience the beauty and heart of a country. Cycling in Bhutan, Cuba, Chile, Cambodia, Vietnam as well as many places in Europe. And of course, New Zealand's South Island, without question the most stunning of all her rides.
