A unique way to see some of the coast of Southern California and Beach Culture as well as the interesting canal area of Venice Beach.

Excellent and fun all round. Easy to find, great equipment, properly fitted and attention to safety. Their funky cruiser style bikes have electric motors, so you pedal as little as you like, or even none at all. Great for all ages and fitness levels. Informative tour takes you through parts of Santa Monica, then down to the beach and bike... More

We're a family of 5 - kids aged 11-15. We all LOVED this. It's always hard to find something for all of us to do that will make everyone happy. No one could agree on a museum....this was perfect! Barbara and Steve, the owners, were patient, helpful, kind and informative. Barbara led our tour for 2.5 hours and even settled... More

Beginning with the care taken to ensure our bikes were sized correctly and we were comfortable riding them, this was a well organized and run tour. Barb had lots of interesting information and stories about the sights en route and skillfully guided us along the busy beach bicycle trail and beside traffic when on streets. Being able to "pedal or... More

The electric bikes are great! Literally, you can pedal or not. The tour guide, Barb, was attentive and had some very interesting history plus some fun places to check out during the almost three hour ride. This is a great way to see Santa Monica and Venice and have a nice bike ride all at the same time. I highly... More

We decided to celebrate our anniversary in Santa Monica at the end of last August 2011. We'd decided to book a bike tour with Pedel or Not and we were very pleased we did so. We traveled from Santa Monica to Venice comfortably in the Pedigo electric bikes. I really loved the fact that when I got tired of pedaling... More

Wow, this tour was one of the highlights of our vacation. The electric bikes are so cool. You can pedal or use the electric or both at the same time. The bikes have baskets for your coats/purse/stuff. The bottled water provided was a nice extra. Our guide Barb was friendly and knew the area. I loved riding on the beach... More
