See Asheville
on two wheels.
Downtown Asheville is packed with old buildings, public art, mountain views, strange stories and enough hills to make a normal bicycle reconsider its life choices.
That's why we use e-bikes.
Join us for an easygoing ride through the city while we show
you some of the places, stories and odd little details that
make Asheville worth exploring.
Tours going out 10am, 1:30pm, 5pm, 8pm every day of the week!
Downtown/Boos Cruz bike tours begin at:
Craven Street Bridge Boating Access Area
192 Riverside Drive
Asheville, NC 28801

What kind of tour is this?
Easygoing
We're here to explore Asheville, not qualify for the Tour de France. The electric assist handles the hills while we keep the ride comfortable and fun.
Actually Local
We'll mix Asheville history with architecture, public art, neighborhoods, local stories and the weird little things that make the city interesting.
Small & Personal
We like experiences where people can actually talk to each other. No giant herd, no tour-bus microphone, and no racing through a script.
Downtown without the uphill suffering.
Asheville is a fantastic city to explore by bicycle. It's compact enough that you can cover a surprising amount of ground, but spread out enough that walking doesn't always get you where you want to go.
E-bikes land right in the sweet spot. You still get the open-air experience of riding a bike, but the motor takes the misery out of the hills.

Why e-bikes?
Because Asheville is built like somebody spilled a city across the side of a mountain.
Electric assist lets us cover more ground without turning the experience into a workout. You still pedal and ride normally, but when the road points uphill you've got a little extra help.
That means more energy for sightseeing, more time exploring and considerably less time wondering why you agreed to ride a bicycle uphill on vacation.
Crazy different elevations create so many lookouts!
As evening settles over the mountains, downtown Asheville takes on a whole different personality — glowing streets, long views and the Blue Ridge stretching out beyond the city.
Our route is about more than checking landmarks off a list. It is about getting outside, moving through town and seeing Asheville from the kinds of viewpoints that make you stop for a minute and take it all in.
Asheville is better when you can wander.
There are plenty of famous things to see here, but some of our favorite parts of Asheville aren't the places with the biggest signs.
It's the architecture. The old neighborhoods. The murals. The mountain views that suddenly appear between buildings. The strange local history. The tiny details you'd never notice from inside a car.
A bike gives us the freedom to move through all of it without feeling sealed off from the city.
Come Ride With UsPack Square is amongst our favorite places to hang out!
Pack Square sits right in the heart of Asheville, surrounded by downtown architecture and public spaces. It is also traditionally where many circus performers have practiced their crafts for the last 20 years.
More riding. Less standing around.
See more of the city.
Riding lets us connect downtown, nearby neighborhoods, public art, historic areas and viewpoints into one continuous experience.
We'll stop when something is worth seeing, take our time when there's a good story to tell and keep moving when it's time to see what's around the next corner.
Basically: less standing in one place listening to somebody talk, more actually exploring Asheville.
Asheville has hills.
We have motors.
Grab a bike and come explore the city with us.
