About this activity

This tour should have been called the "Shoogly Bike Tour", but happily the beer is at the end...so there's no shoogling...maybe some gentle swaying!..But hey, who doesn't like that?

Some say it's impossible to improve on the perfect bike tour, we disagree...add beer and the improvement is instant!

Hidden gems, grand landmarks, local hangouts, unbelievable victorian architecture. What more do you need? Beer!

This tour is for everybody, and you see a city differently on two wheels, rolling along its cycle-friendly lanes, with your local guide.

Our tours are geared towards a deep-dive into Glasgow's culture and good-stuff! If all that isn't enough, you get to drink beer in a micro-brewery at the end!

Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to book this tour, drink beer and tell you friends how much you enjoyed yourself!....this message will self-destruct...

Unlike Mission Impossible, this is all possible!

What are you waiting for? Did we mention there's beer?
