Miles Arbour is a university business graduate, has training in outdoor adventure guiding, and puts that education to good use by riding bikes. His sarcasm will often get the better of him.
He quite literally feared the idea of riding a bike on the rural roads where he grew up in Ontario. It wasn’t until a bike became a means of transportation was he turned on to the idea of riding further from civilization. Miles’ relocation to Powell River, British Columbia has opened up even more opportunities for big rides, fizzy water sampling, and the chance to enjoy some of the most beautiful terrain in the Pacific Northwest. He’s been known to tackle projects (with wit) that are thrown at him and looks forward to contributing to the industry as much as he can. You can follow Miles on Instagram @MilesArbour.
