Is the Pedal Pub really pedal powered?

Yes and No. The Pedal Pubs are equipped with electric pedal assists that kick in when you are pedaling.

How many people can ride on a Pedal Pub? How many pedal?

Each Pedal Pub bike can accommodate 14 passengers. There are 5 pedaling seats on each side. Four seats do not require any pedaling: there is one non-pedaling seat over each rear wheel and a bench in the back that seats two people. For larger groups, we suggest the following options: (1) Reserve two or more private party bikes. (2) Reserve one private party bike for 14 and purchase additional seats on a Public Tour. (3) Split your group in half and purchase seats for everyone on two Public Tours. In all instances, the bikes will remain together. Please note that larger groups requiring the use of more than one bike, in any way, are subject to a 20% prepaid driver gratuity. Please contact us for assistance.

What’s the difference between a Private Tour and a Public Tour?

Private tours are great for groups of 5 or more that prefer to have the Pedal Pub to themselves. Public tours are great for smaller groups or those that just want to join in with another group.

Is there a minimum number of people required to operate the Pedal Pub?

A minimum of 6 people are required to operate the Pedal Pub. If a tour does not meet the minimum, you will be contacted to reschedule or receive a refund.

When do I pay for my tour? How do I pay?

You can pay in full with a credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay at the time of reservation.

What’s the liability waiver for? Do you offer helmets?

As with any activity, there is risk involved, so passengers ride at their own risk. Every rider is required to complete and sign our liability waiver before the tour start. Yes, we offer bike helmets because it’s prudent. You don’t have to wear one – that’s totally up to you. But you do take responsibility for yourself regarding any and all injuries.

Who’s in charge of the Pedal Pub?

The driver. If you fail to comply with our code of conduct or you act in a dangerous manner, you’ll be removed from the tour.

What is your weather policy?

We run rain or shine – hot or cold; however, if severe weather becomes a factor, we will contact you to cancel or reschedule. Please plan and dress appropriately for predicted weather conditions. We recommend you bring plenty of water to stay hydrated as this is an outdoor activity.

What is your cancellation policy?

If for some reason you really need to cancel (we can’t imagine why!), the renter will receive a credit toward a future tour or a full refund as long as the cancellation is made at least 7 days prior to the scheduled tour date. Cancellations made within the week of the tour will not receive a refund or a reschedule credit unless we are able to rebook your tour time. Cancellations made within 24 hours will not receive a refund or credit and renters will be responsible for the full cost of the tour.
