Felt Bicycles has announced a new partnership with Thomson Bike Tours, the specialist cycling tourism firm. Felt will equip Thomson Bike Tours with its latest road and gravel bikes… ‘to help further elevate the riding experience of Thomson Bike Tours’ first-class cycling adventures.’
With destinations spanning over 10 countries and across four continents, Thomson Bike Tours offers premium cycling tours on the road as well as off-road trails for gravel cyclists.
“When we began our search for a new bike supplier, we knew we couldn’t settle for just any bike brand,” said Peter Thomson, owner of Thomson Bike Tours. “In Felt, we have found a partner devoted to creating the finest cycling experiences because they love bikes and the adventures they can take us on.
“This belief couldn’t be more closely aligned to our own. From the famous mountains of the Grand Tours to undiscovered off-road trails, we look forward to an exciting future of road and gravel trips with Felt.”
Eric Sakalowsky, Felt’s VP of Marketing, said “We’re incredibly proud to partner with Thomson Bike Tours.
“They are the preeminent cycling tourism company in the world. Their commitment to quality, as well as to the joyous spirit of adventure that’s unique to cycling, aligns with our brand’s values.”
Cyclists who sign up for a road cycling trip with Thomson Bike Tours will have the option of riding a Felt FR – the brand’s lightweight road bike. Those seeking more of an off-road adventure with Thomson Bike Tours across the gravel roads in Europe will have the option of riding a Felt Breed.
To celebrate the start of the new partnership between the two companies, Thomson has launched a contest where one lucky winner will receive a ‘7-day/6-night dream gravel riding adventure’ in one of four stellar cycling destinations (with the winner getting to choose their preferred destination and dates):
- France – Provence & Mont Ventoux: September 12-18
- Italy – Tuscany: October 3-9
- Spain – Girona & Catalonia: October 24-30
- Portugal – Algarve: November 14-20
The contest is open to all cyclists around the world, but entrants must be 18 years of age or older. To enter, participants are encouraged to follow both @feltbicycles and @thomsonbiketours on Instagram, and must register online by July 30 at 23:59 CET.
