My name is Fin Madden, an Irish-Canadian who somehow ended up living in Simlångsdalen, Sweden. My lifelong passion for cycling helped bring my dream to a reality in 2020, I opened Mountain Biking in Halmstad with the help of my wife, Elaine, and our young son, Torne.
I have spent the better part of my life on a bicycle, from touring across Europe Dublin to Ljubljana or Halmstad to the western tip of Spain, as well some ultra-distance racing. Mountain biking is where I began cycling, on rigid steel bikes with single-walled wheels back in the late 80’s. I’ve lived and cycled on 4 continents. Check out my journal from my tour across Europe on a folding bike!
I studied Outdoor Recreation specializing in leadership from Lakehead University, and went back to get another degree in Education, specializing in Physical Education and History. This gives me a high level of professionalism when it comes to guiding and instructing mountain bikes.
What People Say
1 friend and I booked a full day of MTB and kayak. Fin was very receptive regarding our riding proficiency and chose single tracks that were exciting, yet doable along beautiful trails of Simlångsdalen and beyond. Approachable and knowledgeable guide, attractive pricing, and great equipment makes this an excellent experience for anybody interested in MTB living in or visiting Halland

Testade deras sprillans nya E-mtb i en runda i Steninge. Suveränt. Guiden Fin pratar svenska och flytande engelska och verkar kunna skitmånga stigar i Halmstad med omnejd. Jag är supernöjd.

Tillbringade en fantastisk heldag i fantastisk natur med Fin! Förmiddagen på blandade MTB-stigar, allt från enkelt till avancerat, eftermiddagen i kajak. Rekommenderas varmt! Punka på en av våra cyklar som satt för nära avgasröret på bilen, men det fixade Fin!
