Great tour - I had the pleasure of being the only guest for an event with Barb, and she made the experience truly memorable. She showed so much enthusiasm and passion for guiding, taking the time to share her knowledge and love for the area. Her genuine interest in ensuring I had a great experience made the tour feel personalized and special. I highly recommend this tour. Loved the electric bike.

Ultimate LA bike tour - If you have 3 hours in LA go on Barb's Pedal or Not e-bike tour. The ride along the coast from Santa Monica to Venus Beach and the Venus canals is beautiful and totally California. Bikes are comfortable and Barb's guiding and pointing out the historic sites and places of interest along the way make the experience very enjoyable.

Don’t miss this experience - Let me start by saying I have never been on an electric bike. The option to peddle or not to peddle was great. Or to use the peddle assist and make each peddle action equal like 5 actual peddle actions was priceless. Electric bikes, great tour guide, California sun, ocean views, history, Venice and Santa Monica beaches. Can’t lose with this one!!!
