Buffalo Pedal Tours

We booked Buffalo Pedal Tours as part of my sister’s bachelorette this past Saturday — it was SO MUCH FUN and I would highly recommend! We had 10 girls on the bike and stopped at Pearl St. Grill, and canalside (Liberty Hound) — it definitely went by really fast but we all had a blast and will book again! Brad was awesome!

This was great! The group I was with did a Buffalo Pedal Tour on a Wednesday night at 8:30. We waited for the 5:30 tour to finish up theirs outside the Big Ditch Brewing Co, and it was totally up to us as to where we wanted to stop at for our little bar hopping bike tour. The other group unloaded from the bike blaring country music and laughing to the point of almost crying, they absolutely loved it and it was a great omen as we hopped on in their place.
There are cubbies where you can stash purses or jackets, it’s cool to bring water bottles (and in fact, I would strongly suggest it), and other snacks (which I also suggest). We were allowed about 20 – 25 minutes at each shop, which was good for about 1 drink at each place. The tour itself runs about 2 hours with a little bit of wiggle room, such as the 5:30 tour pulled up at 8, and our 8:30 tour really ended around 10:45 and we had to pedal the bike into the garage it gets stowed in at night.
The pedaling is slow going, but that’s perfectly alright. It gives you plenty of time to take in the beautiful downtown renovation of Buffalo, keep your conversation going, and you’re still going to get a good workout as you all try to pedal quickly through the stoplights. It’s so much fun and a great workout to break up the drinks! You can party and feel good about it all at the same time! You can even pair your smart phone with the speaker on board to play music lists. But don’t bring a CD, there’s no CD player. I mean, it is 2015, we have Bluetooth now, and even though we jerryrigged an old stereo someone had in their car to the Pedal Bike aux system, it was all staticky and the CD skipped. Just someone have Pandora or Spotify on their phone and play from there, the guy steering the pedal tours and keeping time is more than happy to help you pair your device with the bike.
So it was a lot of fun! I would suggest don’t do this after a long day of work (one of our group works manual labor and he was not having a good time at all), and I myself was a little worn out from training for a half marathon and nursing a sore knee, but it was still a really good time! Definitely something everyone should do once in their life!

Its the first time going on the pedal tours of Buffalo. Group of us went on Sunday afternoon. We realize you must have strong legs to pedal but was fun. You stop at fews bars to have drinks. You allowed to bring food, pop and water but no beer or wine. Best thing that Buffalo did. I would do this again. I would like tried at night tour.

My mom booked a Buffalo Pedal Tour for 15 of us over Memorial Weekend. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend their tours to others. We stopped at three bars and we were able to choose where we wanted to stop. It was a great time riding around with friends and family, and our guide was very nice, fun, and helpful.
The only advice I would have is to try to coordinate more specials with the bars that the tours visit because the specials that the three bars we went to were all for beer drinkers, and there were many of us who are more into wine and cocktails than beer. All in all, a great tour and would definitely do it again! Thanks!

This was a great way to be outside in Buffalo with friends! We had a blast! It is going to be a must do this summer again!

Looks like a great idea, but unfortunately my group did not get to experience. They are very unfriendly and difficult to deal with. In trying to plan an event with out of town guests, we naturally had many questions in trying to coordinate and they were clearly annoyed, uncooperative and I would even say a bit hostile. Not to mention a very loose weather policy after requiring the full payment 30 days in advance. Great idea, terrible customer service. We will take our business elsewhere.
