About Cycling Heidi
Hi, I’m Lillie Rumpf, but on the road I’m better known as Cycling Heidi. I’m a certified Swiss Cycling guide, and my mission is to help you enjoy cycling… without the headaches!
If you’re more the coffee-break type than the speed-record type, if adventure appeals to you but you need a little boost, or if you’re simply looking to feel more comfortable on your bike, then you’ve come to the right place.
Your guide for happy cycling.
For me, cycling is much more than just a sporting activity. It’s an adventure, a way to connect with nature, to surpass yourself, to share unforgettable moments… and of course, to enjoy gourmet breaks!
My rides aren’t just about cycling: they’re a combination of adventure, learning (always in good spirits), and, let’s be honest, a healthy dose of “burgers and beer” (or whatever delicacy makes you happy!). The important thing is to create a friendly, supportive environment where everyone feels at home, whatever their level.
My story
How I became Cycling Heidi
When I arrived in French-speaking Switzerland from my native Southern California in 2008, I had a bit of a culture shock. Let’s just say that the Swiss weren’t kidding about sport. It was serious. Very serious. And I thought that wasn’t really the best way to encourage beginners to take up cycling. So I decided to bring a little Californian sunshine and fun to Swiss roads.
I began by guiding The Bike’s “social” outings in Lausanne for several seasons, and I loved it! I saw so many people discover the pleasure of cycling, make progress and, above all, have fun. Today, I continue to organize occasional outings for women and beginners in French-speaking Switzerland and in the magnificent Vaud Alps, where I’ve made my home.
My philosophy
More than cycling, a human adventure
What I propose
Tailor-made experiences
Whether you’re dreaming of a day out on my favorite routes, or a tailor-made trip to explore the most beautiful corners of Switzerland and beyond, I’m here to help. I adapt to your wishes, your level and your objectives.
So, if you’re looking for :
