Details

Asheville, North Carolina, stands out as a vibrant city woven with Appalachian charm, historic architecture, and a booming craft beer scene. At the heart of this urban playground is Amazing Pubcycle, a unique venture offering bike-powered pub tours that blend outdoor activity with social discovery. Unlike traditional walking tours, Amazing Pubcycle’s fleet of multi-rider pedal vehicles puts you in the driver’s seat — quite literally — as you pedal through Asheville’s eclectic downtown streets. With options ranging from private pub tours to tandem bike rides and nomad-style single-ticket experiences, this company pioneers a social and active way to sample the city’s breweries, taprooms, and local watering holes.

The experience is part urban adventure, part community connection, set against Asheville’s backdrop of mountain views and historic neighborhoods. Asheville’s downtown core features striking early 20th-century brick buildings and access to the French Broad River, providing plenty of visual intrigue as you cycle. Beyond the architecture, the city is known for its microbreweries, each with distinct offerings from hop-heavy IPAs to rich stouts, making the stops as much about flavor as they are about culture.

Amazing Pubcycle stands out because it taps into Asheville’s outdoor ethos—pedaling is good exercise, fresh air is unavoidable, and the camaraderie onboard fosters a different vibe than typical bar hopping. The company's wait list system and private tour bookings show demand for an experience that’s both social and responsible. By combining cycling with craft beer tasting, Amazing Pubcycle embraces Asheville’s dual spirit of outdoor adventure and handcrafted drink culture.

For visitors seeking a memorable way to engage with Asheville’s local scene, this is a standout choice that brings fun, fitness, and flavor together.
