About this tour
A 2-hour pedal-powered pub tour for groups of 6–14 people in downtown Austin. You and your mates pedal a 10-seat bike (with 5 non-pedal seats available) at a gentle 5 mph, stopping at bars, murals and food vendors along scenic routes. Electric assist makes pedalling manageable; bring your own canned drinks, connect your phone to the onboard sound system, and the driver handles navigation and energy—not historical commentary.
Highlights
- Pedal-assist bike fits 10–15 people; non-pedal seats for those who can't or won't pedal
- BYOB format: cooler with ice provided, you bring canned drinks only
- Onboard sound system plays your own music during the ride
- Stops at bars to buy additional drinks, plus murals and food trucks on request
- Driver facilitates safety and mood; electric motor keeps pace leisurely
- Caters to birthdays, bachelorette parties, corporate groups and reunions
- Same-day bookings often available with advance notice
What to expect
You'll arrive with your group (6–14 people minimum) at the meeting point in downtown Austin. The driver will brief you on the bike, safety rules and your route, then you'll mount up—some pedalling, some seated and relaxing—and set off at a 5 mph cruise through scenic downtown streets. Electric assist handles the heavy lifting; your job is to pedal at a comfortable pace, enjoy your drinks from the cooler, and play music through the bike's speaker system.
Along the way, the driver will stop at a few bars where you can order and drink on-site, pause for photos at murals, and swing by food trucks if you've booked that option. After 2 hours, you'll return to your starting point. The driver keeps things safe and fun but won't narrate history or local facts—this is a social pub crawl, not a sightseeing tour.

Good to know
Best for groups celebrating a milestone, bonding with workmates, or just wanting a lively, boozy group outing in a fun format. You'll need moderate fitness to pedal for 2 hours, though electric assist and non-pedal seats mean less fit or injured guests can still join comfortably. Canned drinks only—no glass, no spirits; water isn't provided, so bring or buy your own. Everyone must be 21+. The pace is slow, so it's not strenuous, but a hot or rainy day will still be felt. Cooler with ice is included; bars and optional food stops cost extra. Groups of 6–14; same-day bookings often possible.
