Pacific Pedal Cruiser

I’ve been meaning to try a pedal cruiser with my friends ever since I saw heading down main street in Santa Monica. Low and behold I discovered a great livingsocial deal and had to jump on it! I decided to go for one of my many birthday celebrations and I had a blast!
I got in touch with Matt who was super helpful and informative. He was able to answer all my questions in a timely manner and even able to reschedule without a problem. When the big day came for the cruiser our group was about 15 minutes (not too bad for 14 people!) late but we still managed to head to about four bars. All in all the day was awesome, it was well organized and riding the cruiser was definitely as fun as it looks… although a bit tiring for such a slow moving vehicle! One caveat, for all the shorties out there like me, it seems that the cruiser is not fun size friendly. I’m about 5’0 and I could still pedal but I definitely had a rougher time than some of the taller folks. My sandal also fell off a couple of times so it might be a good idea to wear shoes that are secured to your feet.
I would definitely book a pedal cruiser again with Pacific Pedal Cruiser! I highly recommend it for people looking for something fun to do with their friends. I actually prefer doing it during the day. not only for the weather but it creates a fun environment with cars honking at you or random people high fiving you it’s very fun and lively. I can’t wait for them to get a liquor license! Drinking on the pedal cruiser would definitely make for a great ride!

We put the pedal to the metal during this epic birthday bike ride. I wish I could ride this with all my friends every sunny Sunday of summer.
Derek was a great guide and overall person. Our group felt extra special convincing strangers on the street to dance along to our music, recruiting others on bicycles to caravan, and racing other cars (we lost, but the alcohol consoled us.)
I would definitely book Pacific Pedal Cruiser for another birthday or any other celebration. It was a great way to get together with friends and create a fond memory of what is beautiful Hermosa Beach. Plus there was no guilt in drinking and pedaling since Derek was there to steer us clear of trouble.
I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun on a bike. Thank you Pacific Pedal Cruiser!

My hubby and I had an awesome time. Looking forward to bringing our friends.

I would have given PCC 5 stars but it was almost impossible to get a reservation. I had almost given up. I got a Groupon which expired the end of June and it was booked for the month so I tried using it July but only got half my calls, emails, and texts returned by the owner. It was so frustrating that only one person was in charge of scheduling and would take sometimes a week to return my inquiry if at all. However, he was nice enough to honor the 4 person Groupon even though it was expired by July.
Once you get past that part, the actual day was so much fun! We felt a little rushed at every place but there were great drink and food specials at each spot. Be prepared for a workout when you pedal! I can’t wait until they get a drink license to actually serve beer on the bike!

This was so much fun, what a great idea!
Did this for my sister’s 21^st birthday with the family and everyone from the 21 year old to the 60 year olds were having a great time. The pedaling is not bad at all and provides the perfect amount of laughs! Colin was our driver and he was so enthusiastic and personable… it made for a great time.
The next time I want to plan a party in the south bay with friends or family, this will be it!

Talk about fun!!! Got a Groupon from a friend a it was a great deal! I would have paid full price as well. Got here for a 11:30 bicycle ride. Had to sign a waiver, got our wrist bands and off we go! You go to 4 – 5 places in about two hours and if you count the meeting place, which would be a good stop.
There are 4 seats in the back that don’t pedal and then 5 seats on each aide. Some seats seemed a bit higher than others. Let’s say you have to be at least 5’3 like the ad says. They don’t say that just because! I am barely 5’0 and it was a bit uncomfortable, but I still had a great time! I would try and wear sandals that have a backing on them so your shoes don’t all off as it had done for a couple and we had to stop. Pedaling is no joke! You definitely get a work out. Funny enough you could walk faster to all the places we went, but that’s no fun!
As many said, bring a ipod or if you have music on your phone you can hook it up to the speakers. They are in the works of getting a liquor license so they can serve beer on the bike, tap is already there, just no beer yet!
Each place you spend about 20+ mins to get food or drinks. You still have to pay for your drinks but you get them at a discount for certain kinds. Like one place had 2 for 1 beer and shots specials. One place only served beer but I was able to get a cheap wine and pay full price which was only $ 6. I would say the only downfall is the short amount of time we had at each place.
Overall, fun experience with your friends or better yet, if you’re lucky to have a great group of people and they become your friends! After it was all over, we all went to Game Changers… such a awesome group of people!

I had a fun time but the bars PPC chose were terrible. The waitress at the Hermosa Beach Yacht Club was rude. The bar only took cash and this should have been told ahead of time. PPC should get lower cost drinks not two for one as there is no time to drink two drinks.

Pacific Pedal Cruiser is awesome!!! We booked for my birthday celebration/​St. Patty’s Day! Everyone in my group was raving about what a unique and fun experience it was. We stopped at 4 different bars and had an amazing time.
I highly recommend doing this with a group of friends… bring your ipod (you can plug it into the stereo system and dance/​bike to your own tunes).
Derek was our driver… he was great and kept the party rolling!

This was a great experience!!! Bought a groupon for a friend’s birthday present and we had an amazing time! Everyone wished it was longer.
Highly highly recommend doing this! You and your group will have an amazing time!
Shout out to Colin for being such an amazing driver and keeping us all rocking the whole time!

An Awesome Experience!
I wanted to help plan a cool party for my GF’s birthday and a groupon for PPC came up. I called them to check on all the terms of the groupon and they were extremely helpful in helping me pick a day, time and how many hours we were going to be on the bike. I highly recommend doing a 3 hour tour. It was the perfect amount of time for us!
Now for the ride!!! We were greeted on the Hermosa Pier by Derek. He led us to the bike and we all started pedaling. You feel like a celebrity pedaling down hermosa, jumping off, getting half off drinks, and having a blast. Derek was awesome. He helped keep the party going and made sure to watch our stuff every time we ran into the bars. There is a cd player and ipod hook up on the bike that is loud enough to make sure people turn their heads on the street.
This is seriously a great time, the people that run the company are very helpful and Derek was an awesome driver. I can’t wait to do it again!

Was out in Hermosa visiting some friends and got to go on the pedal cruiser, what a blast! The highlight of my trip! Great way to experience Hermosa Beach!!! Thanks again to the driver, would recommend to anyone looking to have a fun afternoon with friends!

Greatest invention ever. No better way to spend your weekend. Perfect for birthday parties, bachelorette parties, football Saturdays, and Sunday Fundays. Highly recommend this!!!
