Magical Mystery Bike Tours has always been my passion business — never about making money, but about sharing the joy of riding, exploring, great food, and beautiful places with amazing people. Being retired gives us the freedom to do what we love, and we’re grateful to donate a large portion of our profits to bike trail foundations, sports teams, and charities we truly believe in.
My husband and I have been traveling around Costa Rica with our family to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s together before welcoming our first two grandchildren next year. During our time here, I gained a much deeper understanding of Pura Vida, Costa Rica’s national motto.
While it literally means “Pure Life,” Pura Vida is so much more. It’s an attitude of gratitude, finding happiness without chasing material things, appreciating nature and respecting our environment, and cherishing time with family and friends. It’s a way of living that feels joyful, grounded, and meaningful.
As I reflected on this, I realized something powerful — we’ve been living Pura Vida through Magical Mystery Bike Tours all along, even before we had the words for it. Every ride, every shared meal, every laugh along the way reflects those same values.
Now that I’ve found the perfect phrase to describe what truly matters, I’m bringing Pura Vida home with me — and into every tour we offer. 🇨🇷 ❤️
Come ride with us, connect with nature, build friendships, and experience the joy of life on two wheels. We never allow political discussions to ruin a good time. We are too busy having fun and building bridges.
🚲✨ Come join us for the time of your life!
