What is Fresno Brew Bike?
Fresno Brew Bike is a pedal powered, 15 passenger cycle that tours downtown Fresno. Our mission is to provide the ultimate brew and bite experience by partnering with some of Fresno’s best local tasting establishments. Fresno Brew Bike is the original and only party bike you want to roll with as we set out to combine our love of exercise, drinks, and FUN!
Can I drink on Fresno Brew Bike?
Yes, beer, wine, cider, hard seltzer waters, and canned cocktails are allowed aboard the Brew Bike on all tours. Each group is allowed to bring their own alcohol (BYOB) and consume while on the bike only. Allowances: either 36 oz of beer per person of up to 7.0% ABV or 16oz of wine in a manufacturer unopened sealed container. For example, a privately chartered bike with 15 passengers can bring a maximum of 45, 12oz cans of beer.
Plastic and aluminum only. No glass, No hard alcohol, and No mixed drinks are allowed aboard the Brew Bike. Please bring your own coolers so you can easily transport your beverages on and off the brew bike.
Are there age requirements?
Yes, you must be at least 21 years old if you plan to ride on a pub tour where alcohol is present as this is the law. However, private tours may be booked on which the age requirement is 6 years or older if the bike is used for city, family, and holiday tours (alcohol free tours). Please call if you have further questions of if you’d like to have individuals under 21 years old.

Custom Tours (food/drinks/large parties) are available upon request. Call us at 559-569-3437 to inquire about booking!
Should I bring a cooler?
Yes, please plan to bring your own cooler and ice as we do not provide one. A standard sized cooler will fit in the center of the bike, and you’re welcome to bring two if necessary. If you have more than two coolers though, that likely means you have too many drinks packed.
Does everyone pedal?
No. There are 12 bicycle seats with backs, but only 10 of these have pedal cranks. 2 of the seats are above the wheels and are not equipped with pedals. There is also a 3-seat back bench, which is designed for those riders who want to relax or who are physically incapable of the rigors of pedaling.
Is there a weight limit?
Yes, each seat can support a maximum weight of 285 pounds.
How fast does the Fresno Brew Bike go?
On average, about 5 mph—however, we may top out at a hair-blowing 7 mph if we really get our crank on!
Where do we go?
The 2-hour tour generally pedals through downtown Fresno where we visit some of the best drinking spots in town. The total distance we travel on the party bike is approximately 2 miles.
Is music allowed?
Heck yeah music’s loud… er… allowed! Bring the tunes, and we’ll provide the bumpin’ speakers to play the hits! We have all the auxiliary cords and dongle adapters necessary to connect your phone to our stereo.
What if it rains?
Our policy is that we roll rain or shine. We have a canopy over the top of the bike, which will help prevent getting soaked, but even with the canopy you will probably get a few sprinkles on you. We promise a little bit of rain will not stop the party! If you’re unsure, please bring a coat or book a tour for another day.
