A sidecar rider and urban tour guide, Alexandra developed a love for two-wheeled vehicles at a very young age.

At age 5, she was already sitting on the seat of a PW50. In 2021, she discovered sidecar riding on a Ural 750.

After trying her hand at various jobs in the hospitality and tourism sectors, she decided to combine her passion and skills to turn it into her career.

Passionate about street art and unusual stories, she embarked on a new adventure and founded Chill & Ride alongside Léonie, her sidecar, and with the support of all her family and friends.

The concept

Chill & Ride was launched in 2026. The idea was born out of a desire to help people discover the city in a different way, with a unique twist.

Inspired by her travels to major European street art cities (Lisbon, Berlin, Paris), Alexandra combines the uniqueness of sidecar tours with the diversity of urban art found along the streets to create itineraries and offer tourists visiting Bordeaux a one-of-a-kind experience.

Léonie

The sidecar

Born in 2019, somewhere in Russia to unknown parents, Léonie began her life near the Loire Valley châteaux.

A few years later, she wanted to see the world and set off on a road trip to Morocco.

In October 2025, she was adopted by Alexandra, who took her to explore the streets of the famous Port de la Lune.
