A bike tour business has launched on Anglesey - a year after its original start-up date was hit by the pandemic.
Green Lane Bike Tours was about to be launched by director Eli Elis-Williams last spring but Covid saw her postpone the plans.
Now as North Wales prepares for a boom in staycations the business plans to take advantage of the growth in the popularity of cycling - by helping local people and visitors to enjoy biking on the island.
They offer guided and self-guided bike tours on Anglesey - using local knowledge to take riders on specifically designed, easy and quiet routes on the island.
The company can help people stay away from the usual tourism 鈥榟oneypots鈥 by introducing their guests to some more unusual destinations.
鈥淓ach route has several interesting places to visit, as well as plenty of stops to enjoy the view, and enjoy the surrounding wildlife,鈥 says director and tour leader, Eli Elis-Williams.
鈥淲e share some stories relating to local history and the places we鈥檙e visiting, and like to spot wildflowers and birds, as well as enjoying views across to Snowdonia and Anglesey鈥檚 enviable seascapes along the way.鈥
With more people having taken up cycling as a leisure and exercise activity during lockdown or in recent years, Green Lane Bike Tours enables people to see the best of what Anglesey has to offer - while following a 鈥榞reen鈥, healthier lifestyle and leisure activity.
鈥淲e want to show people that cycling can be a viable option for leisure or for getting around,鈥 adds Eli.
Green Lane Bike Tours says it promises a 鈥楥ovid-safe鈥 outdoor activity and have completed both the 鈥榃e鈥檙e Good to Go鈥 Tourism industry Covid-19 standard and the Covid-19 awareness course for the Sport & Recreation sector.
Customers can bring their own bike or hire a bike or electric bike, which will be delivered to the start of the route.
A Welsh- speaker with a Welsh history degree, Ms Elis-Williams is sure that people will enjoy hearing stories from Anglesey鈥檚 rich past.
鈥淲e鈥檝e already had comments from customers keen to learn more about Anglesey鈥檚 history,鈥 she said.
