In episode 14 of the Lazy Wealth Creation podcast, Carl shares innovative money-saving tips and entrepreneurial ideas centered around cycling. The episode emphasises the benefits of cycling to work instead of driving, highlighting its cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. Building on the previous episode's discussion about using Eventbrite for event organization, Carl suggests offering guided cycling tours along the picturesque coastline of Wirral, where participants can enjoy stunning views while stopping at local businesses. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Cycle to Work: Consider cycling instead of driving to save money on transportation costs. Once you purchase a bicycle, the ongoing costs are minimal, and it’s environmentally friendly.
• Organise Cycle Tours: Leverage local scenic routes to create and sell guided cycle tours through platforms like Eventbrite. This can attract cycling enthusiasts who are willing to pay for unique experiences.
• Partner with Local Businesses: Negotiate deals with local pubs and eateries along your cycling route to earn a percentage of sales or offer discounts to your tour participants, creating a win-win situation for both parties.
• Monetise Parking Spaces: If you live near event venues, consider renting out your parking spaces during events. This can be a lucrative way to earn extra income, especially during high-demand events like sports tournaments or concerts.
• Utilise Social Media for Promotion: Use social media to promote your cycling tours and engage with participants. Encourage them to share their experiences online to increase visibility and attract more customers.

BEST MOMENTS
"Can you, instead of driving to work or driving around your local supermarket, could you possibly cycle? It's cheap, easy, and of course, it's free once you've bought it."

"You can offer a group cycle experience... cyclists all over the world are mad for going out and doing these sorts of 15, 20 mile cycle rides."

"You can start to negotiate deals with those local business owners... for every sale that you get, I would like a percentage of that."
