Regina
co-owner,business, administration, promotion, guide, mechanic
Regina is a lifelong amateur sportswoman in her prime.She relocated to Australia in 2013 from beautiful Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, along with her baby son and her partner, who had accepted a job offer in Perth. In Prague, she worked as a stockbroker and private banker in the financial and capital markets. After moving to Perth, she dedicated her time to caring for her son. When their initial four-year stay was extended, she began searching for employment. Finding a job in her original occupation proved to be nearly impossible in Perth, but by chance, she met George with his footbikes and discovered a product that interested her. She joined the business and gradually took over most of the company's activities and eventually became a shareholder. Regina’s sport number one is beach volleyball; she has a passion for windsurfing, and last but not least, she loves FOOTBIKING. While beach volleyball is a lifelong passion, FOOTBIKING started as a casual acquaintance that developed into a serious relationship.She believes footbiking is an excellent activity due to its convenience and versatility. Unlike volleyball, which necessitates a net, court, ball, and three partners, or windsurfing, which requires favourable wind conditions, ideal waves, and substantial equipment, footbiking can be performed independently at any location and time. Footbiking serves as a mode of transport, a source of enjoyment, relaxation, and most importantly, a fitness tool. It offers comprehensive exercise that stretches and strengthens the entire body, complementing other sports focused on unilateral movements or serving as relief after prolonged office work.Regina enjoys all kinds of footbike riding: independent dynamic fitness rides, group leisure trips filled with fun, or riding in pairs, for example, with her son, where they have plenty of time to chat, fool around, and discover new places.

During one of the numerous bike races he attended, George engaged in conversation with his fellow racers. One participant spoke highly of Australia, particularly Western Australia, noting its relatively flat urban landscapes as ideal for cycling. Given George's passion for travel and mobility, he ultimately decided to relocate to Perth on the opposite side of the world.Over time, the mountain biker inside began to miss the hills of Europe, finding the flat roads monotonous. George sought a new challenge that would suit his environment. He discovered footbikes, an ideal vehicle for Perth. Besides footbiking, George Mil has professional experience in various areas, including overseas cargo transportation and abseiling trees and skyscrapers in Perth. He also plays the drums.
