Daily departures from Rentabike @ Federation Square... on the riverbank level near the Riverland Bar.
We have a maximum of 8 riders on our daily city tour, but run private tours for bigger groups on request.
We have a shop at Federation Square (where you can leave your stuff free of charge) and our own fleet of 60 light hybrid 21-speed bikes in a variety of sizes.
We also have baby seats, children's bikes, tagalongs, tandems.
Our tours include a proper lunch, plus coffee and cakes in Little Italy and other surprise treats like maybe a wine with lunch, a beer tasting or Melbourne's best ice-cream depending on the weather and your preferences on the day.
Our clients include Qantas and Melbourne's top private and public schools as well as Tourism Victoria and we have featured in newspapers and magazines worldwide for 12 years, as well as on TV's Great Outdoors, Coxy's Big Break, Postcards and most recently Getaway.
Generally we don't recommend that children under 12 years of age ride on their own, as the tour does involve some city riding, but we leave that to the discretion of parents who best know their kids, and their experience and capabilities. We have had children complete the tour on their own bikes, tagalongs, the back of tandems, in buggies – even in baby seats.
Feel free to contact Murray through our home page if you have any questions.
