Fun! A chilly day but the pedaling kept us warm. Very enthusiastic and safety conscious staff! Beautiful views! When the tour was over, we bought a gift certificate for our daughter and SIL. Full review by Nedda S

The price depends on whether you are on 2-seater or 4-seater. We booked the 4-seater one and it was $175 (July 2021). The whole thing took about 2.5 hours. Basically, the time slot you book is for a group, ours had about 15 bikes, I assume it varies but there probably is a maximum number of bikes. They stagger you, but if you are fast, you could come up behind someone that is front of you. We were alone most of the time. At the road crossing you stop and they connect all the bikes together to cross the road together, which was fun, everyone waves and cheers. You get a rest at the end of the track, where they turn the bikes around and head back again. There are guides at the front and back of the group.
