Amazing Biking Tour with One Bike! - Just finished our bike tour with Rodger. WOW! Amazing day and experience. Rodger took care of everything we needed and was extremely informative about the culture and the area. He was very kind and patient and even gave up his bike when one of our e-bikes died. He kept the pace to our liking and was always checking on us to make sure things were good. Couldn't recommend One Bike and Rodger more!

Great Tour Experience - I had a great tour with guide Roger. We biked through many scenic villages with a nice lunch included. It was great that the guide made sure I was okay during some of the more strenuous paths and we went at a pace that was right for me. Highly recommend.

Great day out in Moshi and surroundings - Had a great day out with guide Roger! The rain made it somewhat slippery, but great fun to see Moshi and surroundings from a different perspective. Roger told a lot about life in Chagga villages, plants etc and is all in all a very open and friendly guy.
One Bike also has a well maintained selection of bikes to rent and does great work for the community.

Moshi area bike ride - We did a bike ride with one bike Moshi. We did a 40k ride that was excellent. The ride was not too steep and low on traffic. The scenery was very nice and changing from small villages to 'the desert' (that was actually green). The bikes were in good condition and the guide was super friendly and relaxed. We found the bike ride an excellent way of exploring the Moshi area.

Great tour, views and workout! - Roger was a great guide on our day trip cycling around the Chagga villages even being our personal photographer! Beautiful scenery and great to explore somewhere we wouldn’t have been able to find alone! Lucky to get wonderful views of Mount Kilimanjaro at the start of our ride. Prepare for a lot of uphill for the first half but the views and the downhill at the end are worth it. Take lots of water with you as you’ll need it!

A must to do in Moshi - An absolutely authentic experience driving through local villages while on the bike (riverside, bridges, old missionary church, tasting Banana Beer, learning about chagga traditions). The route can be adapted according to the bike level of participants. We believe the idea behind “OneBike” to be truly worth supporting and hope that many more get the chance to explore the Kilimanjaro hills with Hillary&co.

Amazing Experience - Incredible. This was a unique experience we are so happy to have done. Roger, our guide, was phenomenal and so kind. He also enjoys photography and took these pictures of us that we are so grateful for. He and the rest of the staff were fantastic and attentive. From the scenery to the challenge, everything was perfect and we couldn't be happier to have done this. Not to mention that One Bike shop is doing some tremendous work in the surrounding communities, which we were happy to learn more about. Thank you One Bike!
My recommendation to folks that book is that you be honest about your athletic ability. They can tailor the trip. The one we did was very challenging and while we enjoyed it, it was likely more strenuous that we should have booked. We probably could have fared better on a bit easier of a route, but we selected the harder trail.
