Tour facts

What to expect

Loads of fun, exercise (sorry!) and a new way to see the city. We will also throw in some dodgy tunes if you haven’t got your own.

People

Minimum of 6 people, maximum of 11. There is also a space up front next to the driver upon request if you are a group of 12, but please arrange this with us prior to booking. A full bike will make it heavier to cycle, especially up hill! We can accommodate larger groups, usually by booking 2, or more, tours back to back. Just send us a message or give us a call to discuss! All riders wishing to consume alcohol must provide valid ID upon request. We advise everyone coming on to wear flat shoes, as although this is designed to be fun it can be hard work (and we don’t anyone complaining about their high heels now do we?). Bags, coats, heels and anything else can be stored in the rack under the roof. We try to be as family friendly as possible here, however we are riding a massive bike on busy roads, so only over 18’s can ride. Also anyone under the height of 5 foot may struggle to cycle on the bike at all. 

Time

We aim for our standard tour to be one hour long. If you are an Olympic cycling team this may be less, if you skip leg day this may be more. Also this depends on how many pub/toilet stops you need. We also stop several times to enable swapping seats.

Distance

Each tour covers roughly 3 miles, again depending on breaks and bar/toilet stops. There are some minor inclines (which may be tough) and declines (which are great).

Payment

To book with us a 100% payment must be made at the point of booking. If you need to cancel or change a booking for whatever reason it’s very simple, just let us know. Any cancellation made more than 30 days in advance can claim a full refund or pick a time in the next 60 days to re-book. Cancellations made between 14-29 days prior can be refunded 50% of their booking fee or re-book in the next 60 days. Anything cancelled within 13 days of the tour date cannot be re-booked and will not receive any refund.

Date availability

Our up to date availability is on the website under ‘Book NOW’ . As a rule we operate Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons/evening throughout most of the year. We do shut for some time in the winter to undertake essential maintenance, and also when the roads are closed in Brighton for example Pride Weekend. If you can’t see the time you want available, it may be worth asking. We also always try to accommodate adhoc requests- so please ask.

Drinks

Anything you wish to consume on board you must supply yourself

Weather

Pedal Dogs operate an ‘unless its so windy you can barely stand up we carry on’ rule. Only in the most adverse of conditions will we cancel. If this is the case we will give as much notice as possible. We do supply waterproof ponchos for when the sky starts crying but we don’t let this take the smiles off our faces.

Routes

Pick up & drop off point will be outside The North Laine pub, postcode BN1 4AA –  https://goo.gl/maps/BB9rVLRsPD22

Sorry we cannot be flexible on this. The bike does not have a motor, so getting it anywhere else without 6 people is near impossible.

The routes incorporate Victoria Gardens, The Royal Pavilion, The Brighton Dome, loads of sea views and Brighton Pier, and pass a few optional stop-offs for additional refreshments or bladder evacuations when needed.

Waiver

By participating in the tour you and all participants must agree to be bound by our T&Cs and adhere to a Pedal Dogs waiver. This is a legal requirement for everyone wishing to be on board. Also all riders must attend a short safety briefing given at the start of each tour. Anyone not following the safety rules will be asked to leave the bike immediately or the tour will finish early.
