Fuelled by passion: the birth of Byron Bay Bikes



Philippe Soria, originally from France, is an avid outdoor enthusiast who excelled
in the 1980s as a BMX racing champion representing his country in prestigious International competitions.
Over two decades ago, Philippe relocated to Australia, where his dedication to community involvement
inspired him to envision the Suffolk Park Pump Track, collaborating closely
with the Suffolk Park Progress Association and the Byron Shire Council to bring it to fruition.
Philippe’s love for outdoor sports and his international experience inspired him to establish Byron Bay Bikes.
As the owner and operator, he brings his cycling expertise and passion
for creating memorable experiences to both the Byron Bay community and its visitors.
