Social Cycle is a 15-person group bicycle, powered by its riders and guided by a professional Captain.
Climb aboard for a fun group outing - perfect for bar-hopping, sightseeing, or simply enjoying Palm Springs with others.
It’s a fun, easy, and safe way to socialize, take in local sights, and enjoy the outdoors together.
Public tours run in 2-hour increments and include stops at 3 pre-selected bars or restaurants choosen by Captain. Plenty of bars and restaurants are located along tour routes, where passengers can stop off to enjoy both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks of their choice – and support local businesses!*
*Drinks and food at the bars and restaurants are purchased separately. Wristbands are provided to offer discounts at participating partner bars. While efforts are made to work with venues that extend discounts to groups, final discount availability is determined by each establishment.

Rates for these tours are by the person/seat. If you would like to rent the entire bike(s) out, please see Social Cycle Private Tour.
