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.
