Enjoy a frozen custard at the beach, a local speciality. See incredible variety! Ride through historic working class neighborhoods and past ornate mansions that were built when Milwaukee was the machine shop of the world. Admire hidden alley street art. Gaze up at massive frescos inside our finest cathedral. Cruise along lakeshore parks and past downtown architectural gems. Wrap it all up with a visit to a beer garden, a city tradition since 1848, and you'll have a real taste of Milwaukee.

Building collapse
Building where MKE bike is housed has collapsed. Our tour was cancelled. Jimmy said he would refund us
Operator response
It was the building behind my building, not mine. It was an abandoned warehouse that had a partial collapse on a corner so the whole building had to be brought down. My building was taped off. I'm back up and running. Yes, I had to cancel and refund two tours for something out of my control. Seems like the strange thing to leave a one star review for imo. My communication on the matter was timely and gave a full explanation. A refund was issued right away.

Great tour of Milwaukee
I always look for bike tours when visiting a new city and this tour did not disappoint. Jimmy was a wealth of information as he guided us around the city. His meet up location was easy to find and included parking too.

Jimmy was a great guide for our bike tour! We have been to Milwaukee many times but have never seen the city in quite this way. He was so knowledgeable about every part and we really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you, Jimmy! Can you tell me the name of the stone that was on the building (that was 3.85 million years old?!)
Operator response
Thanks! Morton Gneiss. 3.58 billion.

We had a great tour with Jimmy! He was very knowledgeable about the city, culture and its history. He was laid back and we never felt rushed. We felt very safe and overall it was a great experience!
Operator response
I guess my breathing exercises are working! There is so much to see that I sometimes find myself talking too fast, but I definitely try not to ever rush folks. Glad I succeeded the day we rode together.

Amazing! Fun!!
We loved every second of this day! The e bikes are great, super easy to operate and one of our family was a bit nervous about them but said it was a breeze! You see lots of cool things around town and the pace is perfect. Jimmy was very knowledgeable and super interesting! We highly recommend this tour!!!!
Operator response
Having a good tour for riders of different levels of skill and confidence is probably the toughest part of my job. Sounds like I threaded the needle with your group, which is lovely to hear.
