Wear comfortable clothing and closed toed shoes. Please no sandals or flip flops. Our bikes have water bottle cages, so bring water.
How old do you need to be to ride on this tour?
This tour is designed for those who are 12 years of age or older. All you need to do is be able to ride a bicycle!
I'm not a great bike rider, should I try this?
If you are taking a tour, let us know how much you ride and how fast you want to go. Even though Austin is on the edge of the Texas Hill Country, downtown Austin is fairly flat for the most part. Most of our tours are like "walks on a bicycle" rather than a race. But if you want to book a private tour and ride fast, then you're on!
What if it's raining?
Our tours go out rain or shine. It's an adventure! However, we will cancel our tours if we think the weather is unsafe or too uncomfortable to ride. If we cancel due to the weather, then we will either reschedule you or provide you a refund.
What is the minimum amount of people on a tour? What is the maximum?
The minimum amount of participants for each tour to ensure the tour isn’t canceled is only 2. The maximum is 15 riders per guide. For private events we can accommodate up to 50.
Is this tour on e-bikes?
This tour is on our classic pedal bicycles and not e-bikes.
