Showcasing a rich musical heritage, stunning architecture and an intriguing revolutionary history, Cuba is a cultural oasis for travelers. Cyclists are afforded respect on the roads and Cubans are warm, well educated and hospitable. We’ll take you off the beaten path for unforgettable glimpses of Cuba that you won’t see on a resort or tour bus. Always ready for adventure, our guides are continually on the lookout for unique ways to enhance your travel experience.

While Cuba is rich with a vibrant culture and breathtaking beauty, its people are often faced with shortages of goods and services. There are no cycling shops as we know them and our Cuban friends depend on old donated equipment such as tires, tubes and cables to participate in our joint passion. CanBiCuba partners with Cuban cycling clubs throughout the island, making donations and joining in fundraising events. We encourage our guests to bring donations of new and used equipment, and we’ll make sure you get the chance to see how your donations support the Cuban cycling community.

My name is Peter Marshal and I am a lifelong cyclist. Born in Edinburgh and growing up in Sunderland, I joined the Houghton Clarion CC in 1959. My first bike was a green and yellow 5 speed BSA, possibly the worst bike I have ever owned but I wish that it was still in my bike shed.

In the late 60’s I immigrated to Canada, thinking I’d just check it out. Well Canada tricked me and I stayed for 45 years and had some wonder times, racing, touring and organizing events.

In 1999 I went on a holiday to Guardalavaca in Eastern Cuba. It was a beautiful resort with a fantastic white sand beach, but to be honest I needed more and decided to go beyond the beach. I rented a car, drove inland to Las Tunas to meet a friend who had retired down here. In those days and being ignorant of the real Cuba, I thought he was crazy! To prove his commitment to life in Cuba he set about trying to convince me to start up a tour company in Cuba. I had run tours and other cycling event and was an experienced businessman, but this idea took me some time to come to terms with. I knew nothing of the travel business. How on earth could I possibly go forward with confidence? I decided to just mull it over and started t0 ride around Cuba alone. Well I fell in love with the place and the whole idea that my friend was so adamant about me doing. I became a qualified travel agent and teamed up with the University of Las Tunas. Our plan was to start in November 2001.

Well events of September 11th. of that year threw a spanner in our wheels, and although that period in history (just after 9/11) was possibly the safest time in aviation history for commercial flying, it took me until the following April to persuade 3 brave souls to trust me on a ride around the Sierra Maestra. The following year I did 8 one week rides and we were up and running.

When I started the cycle tour company, I called it Niagara Safari, thinking that I’d venture to other lands. This idea fell by the wayside once I realized that to be able to do a good job one needs to be in close contact with locals and venturing to many different places, simply reduces the ability to do a good job. I stick the paces I know and understand, or at least, think I understand. Cuba keeps me hopping with its quirky ways. In 2006 I hosted what is known as a “Hub & Spoke”, one hotel and ride out each day. This group was made up entirely of Canadians, one of whom was a lifelong cycling pal, Les Humphreys. He and I had started doing group tours together back in the summer of ’72. Les came up with the CanBiCuba name for our Hub & Spoke. I liked the name and asked if anyone objected at my adopting it. No objections were forthcoming and “Niagara Safari” became CanBiCuba that evening in Aguas Claras.

Over the years we have polished our business and have developed many rides and assisted many independent riders and groups with cycling projects here in Cuba. I am a full time resident here in Havana and have been married to my lovely wife Ana for 8 years, without whom this project might well have died 10 years ago.

Going forward CanBiCuba will see Ana and myself retire and this business will go forward with our daughters. It is hoped that business environment may ease in the near future, and the idea of having your company headquartered in Havana will become a very viable proposition.

Cuba is a beautiful place and a great nation, with a history as an independent country that is the oldest in the Americas. I love this island and so will you. For great cycling adventures in Cuba, ride with us.
