London's Original Bike Tour Company

We've been helping people discover London by bicycle since 1991.

That means you have your bicycle for the duration of your hire and can plan your day around your own itinerary.

From an easy-going city bike to an electric bike, touring bike or performance road bike, we offer a broad range of bicycles to suit different journeys.

Personal Service

You're not simply collecting a bike and being sent on your way.

Our team can help you choose the right bicycle, adjust it for you and provide practical advice about cycling around London.

Explore at Your Own Pace

No guide. No fixed itinerary. No need to follow a group.

Stop for photographs. Visit a museum. Have lunch. Explore a park. Discover a new neighbourhood.
