WHAT IS SOCIAL CYCLE?

Very simply, it’s a 16-person bicycle, manually powered by its passengers and operated by a “captain”, that is ideal for just about every type of group outing/celebration imaginable –  from bar-hopping with friends to team-building with colleagues.

It’s a fun, easy and safe way to socialize while enjoying local sights and being outdoors.

  • The concept for Social Cycle® was first launched back in 2000 in Amsterdam, where all bikes are manufactured, then licensed to select cities. Minneapolis was the first U.S. city to debut this unique party vehicle, with San Diego as the first city on the West Coast to launch it.

    We first rode it in Minneapolis and realized that San Diego, Palm Springs, and Santa Barbara would love something like this, with their year-round great weather.

  • The bike can hold 15 to 16 people. It is outfitted with 10 seats with pedals, 2 seats above the back wheels, and a bench seat for 3-4 people in the back. In order to have 4 on the back bench, we highly suggest that these be smaller people in order for your comfort! No one is allowed to stand in the middle while moving per city laws.

  • Click on our Book Now link and follow our easy steps. You’ll be able to view our calendar for the schedule of availabilities. Then simply click on an open time that will work for your group and input your credit card information to reserve the bike. Payment in full is required to make a reservation. We’ll send you an email confirming your reservation, as well as a receipt. Your Captain will also email you a couple days before the tour to introduce themselves and confirm the details with you.

    We are able to run custom routes. There is an additional fee for creating custom routes. This fee is the round-trip towing fee we need to pay in order to get the bike to and from your selected custom route. Please email us for details and rates.
