Everything you need before your ride.
A private bike is $350 Sunday through Thursday and $395 on Friday and Saturday, and it holds up to 15 people. A seat on a public ride is $35 on any day. The guide, coolers, ice and sound system come with every booking; the drinks are yours to bring. Check dates or call 512-539-7861.
