Belfast Beer Bike tour: Pedal the city with a guide

The experience

The Beer Bike is a single vehicle that seats eight people minimum, all pedaling together to move it forward through Belfast's streets. You'll see the Cathedral Quarter and Belfast City Hall, along with other central sights, while the guide steers and narrates. The tour runs about an hour, and because everyone is pedaling at once, the pace stays steady and the group stays together. There's no dropping back or racing ahead.

A live guide in English leads the route and shares knowledge of the area as you go. The bike itself is provided, so you show up ready to ride. The tour works best with a group of at least eight. If your party is smaller, you can email ahead to see if they'll match you with another group before you book. Public transportation options are nearby if you need them to reach the starting point.

This tour suits riders with moderate fitness. The pedaling is steady rather than intense, but it's continuous for the full hour. It's not recommended for anyone with poor cardiovascular health. You'll need to be at least 18 years old to join.
