Additional Information

Due to road construction, this tour is now ~10 miles of Fun!

While pedaling your single-speed beach cruiser you’ll first hear local facts and enjoy beach views sneaking out between million-dollar homes.

I’ve built a safe route that we’ll upload to your phone. The route guides you through the neighborhood, past restaurants, and then into the state park (+$2 to enter).

In the park you can stop for pictures along the iconic pier or a bathroom break at the gift shop. Keep your eyes peeled for exotic birds, deer, dolphins, and an alligator or two. Eek!

  • Ride when you want, at your pace!

  • Includes bike, helmet, lock, & phone mount.

Bikes fit riders ~5 feet and up best. Got a teenager - probably okay!

Wonderful Bike Ride! - Absolutely loved the bike ride! It felt very safe going through the neighborhoods and seeing all the points of access to the beach and as well as making it to St. Andrew’s Park. Definitely take your time stopping at the beach and taking a walk or stopping to get some food! Ryan made sure we were aware there was no rush and we could take as long as we wanted with the bikes which was such a huge plus! Beautiful and peaceful, definitely will book here again when i get the chance to come back to PCB!

Fun and not too strenuous! - Ryan was such an amazing host. He made sure we understood the route and what was to be expected on our route. The app was such a nice tool to have available. We enjoyed our ride very much. It was a nice leisure pace and we felt very safe. The bikes were comfortable and even being out of shape it didn’t feel too much like exercise 😆. Thank you Ryan. We really enjoyed ourselves!

Great bike ride you can do at your own pace as well as learn along the way! - Not being in the best of shape, I really wanted to try a bike ride but not have to keep up with a group. This was the PERFECT option! Ryan (the owner) is absolutely first class. He was patient and explained everything to us about how it would work. You bike at your own pace on a (currently) 10 mile ride. There's a GPS app that you install on your phone that tells you exactly where to go and even has videos along the way that you stop to watch. If you are unfamiliar with the area and wildlife, this gives great instructions. There are also super helpful tips like "Sidewalk is ending, be careful of traffic". The ability to stop when we wanted, take it as fast or slow as we wanted, and the friendliness and helpfulness of Ryan are all reasons I would highly recommend giving this 2 thumbs up!

Totally worth it! - Fantastic service. Relaxing course. Great equipment. Ryan offers tremendous customer service. Made certain we were comfortable on bikes. Pointed out water refill opportunities. Terrific use of YouTube at several stops where he offers some history, insights, and bad dad jokes. Thoroughly enjoyed it and could not recommend it more highly. My wife’s tire blew out half way through the trip. Ryan was there right away with a replacement. Even offered to end the trip if she wanted. Terrific guy.

Great outing! - We really enjoyed this self-paced tour! Ryan was very accommodating with our schedule and made sure we were well taken care of. The bikes were perfect for a FL cruise and we enjoyed the app and short videos along the way. Liked the state park and all it had to offer. We were glad that we started around 9:00 am as the park got busier as the morning went along. Was about 3 hours total and biked close to 10 miles. Highly recommend!
