Become a Host
Create with us…
Since 2016, we have been providing Cycling experiences across Australia, South Korea, Japan, United Kingdom and Italy.
We love creating. Creating opportunities for people to connect with others. Connect with culture. Connect with Mother Nature. And to connect with themselves.
As a Host, there is no doubt you love doing this to. The thrill of creating experiences so that others get to share and appreciate your creation. It’s a special thing to create and share….
About Hosting
There are three primary ways to get involved as a Host.
Create an Experience
This is best suited to those that enjoy attention to detail. You’ll have a special understanding of how events should work - with an eye for detail on where toilets are located, how timing of the event may work, risks to people’s health and safety etc.
We are always here to support and provide guidance, so don’t feel daunted. But be aware of your strengths and if planning is your thing.
Host an experience
Care and communication are key attributes for those that Host. People will look to you for a level of guidance and leadership. You don’t need to be bouncing around, full of energy and in people’s faces. In fact, it’s best to avoid this style!
Once again, we are here to coach and support you during the early days of Hosting.
Share
If you have a flare for capturing stories or want to promote details of our events with your network, this is for you. This may include joining us on an event and taking photos or video, or writing a story that can be spread to likeminded folk.
We provide coaching and support for new Hosts. We work closely to get the first experiences occurring and walk through the steps of planning and executing events. On occasions, we also have a hands on role during experiences if necessary.

Frequent Questions
What is involved in Hosting?
There are three distinct aspects of an experience you could get involved in. Please note you could Create, Host or Share independently or a combination of the three i.e. Create and Host or Create and Share.
Here are the details of each:
Create an Experience
A fundamental skill here is route planning. Where will we start, how do you incorporate scenic aspects, where are the toilet stops, what risks are involved and how might they be mitigated etc. These are things we teach and work with you on, but you would also have some experience either planning routes for friends or a cycling group / club for example.
Host Experience
Hosting requires care and consideration for others. Communication skills need to be clear, particularly when a decision or call needs to be made on safety for individuals or groups i.e. cancelling an event due to weather conditions. Empathy and compassion for others is non-negotiable.
Share the Experience
Do you have a flare for taking photos or video? Maybe you love the craft of writing a story about a place or events? We work with passionate folk that want to share stories. We also work with folks that may want to share details of CycleHosts to their network.
Does CycleHosts provide support and coaching?
Yes, we provide support to ensure everyone is comfortable to deliver a great experience for the CycleHosts community. This includes planning the event and execution - supporting to provide a safe and enjoyable event.
What happen’s after I express my interest?
A team member will be in touch to discuss your interest and ensure there is a match. Importantly, we talk about what it’s like serving others through CycleHosts - we want to be upfront about the joy it brings and also the challenges. This step is about helping you determine if you’d enjoy the work as well!
Will I be paid for Creating, Hosting or Sharing?
Yes. We will either recruit you as an employee or as a contractor, depending on the circumstances.
Can I/we register as a group of people ready to plan something together?
Yes, most certainly. It will require a team of dedicated folk to create amazing experiences. We’re here to help, but if you have a people in your network that can plan and execute a successful experience, that’s a good way to go.
What happen’s if I only want to plan experiences and not Host?
That’s easy - we will work to find suitable Hosts to deliver that aspect of your experience.
Am I restricted to deliver experiences to an area?
No, not at all. But you should have a good level of knowledge of the areas you create experiences in.
What benefits are there for becoming a Host?
You should really enjoy serving others and the thrill of creating something that others will enjoy. It takes a special kind of person to appreciate this. Having said that, you of course get remunerated for events, as well as getting access to Host overseas and interstate experiences.
Can I talk to someone about other questions?
Yes! Anytime. Contact us and a team member will be in touch within 48 hours.
