Magi was absolutely AMAZING!! 🤩 She made our Pubcycle experience unforgettable! From her hilarious personality to the music and incredible vibes, she kept the energy going and had us laughing the entire time. She truly made our bachelorette celebration so much more fun! If you get Magi, you’re in for a GREAT time! Give this girl a raise because she deserves it!! 🚲🥂💕

      Great quick tour of the city! Well worth it! Awesome day! We only did the quick 45 minute trip and it was perfect. The bikes do have electric motors for assistance with the hills, so dont be worried that it will be too difficult. Get some good knowledge about the city and see some new things. BYO beer and wine. Enjoy it!

      Saddle up for a spinning good time! We had an absolute blast on the amazing Pubcycle tour in Asheville! The concept was spot on, the music was fun and relevant, and our guide, Geo, had an upbeat and humorous vibe about him. It’s the perfect way to explore the city, enjoy some drinks within the imaginary moving bubble, and share lots of laughs with friends. Plus, you hardly break a sweat! Highly recommend for a unique and memorable experience.

      A Must Do Adventure in Asheville This is a must thing to do in Asheville. I went solo but met fun and amazing fellow peddlers. The peddling was very smooth and easy so do not sweat it if you think you will be exhausted. Bring a beer (or two) and/or a bottle of wine. The driver had cups if you forgot them. The best thing was waving at the pedestrians and the waves back. Think they were all jealous at how much fun we were having. Don't think twice and do it!
