A salty wind tugs at your hair and your dog’s ears as the group rolls out from a small shop at the corner of Ocean and Mission in Carmel-by-the-Sea. The first downhill coasts toward a leash-free stretch of sand where dogs vault and splash, then the fleet lines up along Scenic Drive—bikes humming, sidecars steady—heading past Frank Lloyd Wright’s coastal modern and the river-rock walls of Tor House.

A salty wind tugs at your hair and your dog’s ears as the group rolls out from a small shop at the corner of Ocean and Mission in Carmel-by-the-Sea. The first downhill coasts toward a leash-free stretch of sand where dogs vault and splash, then the fleet lines up along Scenic Drive—bikes humming, sidecars steady—heading past Frank Lloyd Wright’s coastal modern and the river-rock walls of Tor House.
This short, curated route threads local history and geology: Spanish mission masonry at the Carmel Mission, the reclaimed dunes of Carmel River State Beach, and the granite outcrops of Pebble Beach carved by ancient tectonics and surf. Culture here is civic and canine—Clint Eastwood’s Mission Ranch and the fairy-tale cottages recall early 20th-century artists and hoteliers who shaped the peninsula’s small-town character.
Practical guidance is central. Riders use pedal-assist e-bikes with throttle and custom sidecars that hold one or two dogs (combined 100 lb limit); handlers must be able to lift pets into the sidecars. Expect paved coastal roads, a few short off-road spur trails beneath coastal redwoods, and multiple stops for water, photos, and potty breaks.
Bring a leash, towel, and a harness that can clip inside the sidecar; helmets are provided. Mornings offer cooler temperatures and calmer beaches, while afternoon light favors dramatic photos at Pebble Beach. If a dog shows stress, the operator pauses or shortens the route—animal welfare takes priority. For dog owners who want to explore the Monterey Peninsula together, this ride mixes reliable electric power, shoreline views, and plenty of tail-wagging moments.
easy.
2 hours.
Suitable for most fitness levels; riders should be comfortable balancing an e-bike and able to lift their dog into a sidecar.
Dogs must be comfortable with motion, wind, and other animals; aggressive or highly anxious dogs may not enjoy the experience.
Sidecars accommodate a combined weight up to about 100 pounds; the operator offers two sizes to fit different dogs.
No prior experience is required—staff provide a brief orientation, but riders should be able to balance and operate a pedal-assist e-bike.
Guides will stop for breaks, shorten the route, or return to the shop if a dog’s welfare requires it; handlers should prioritize their pet’s comfort.
Carmel’s coastline mixes Spanish mission-era landmarks with early 20th-century artist colonies; many buildings and routes reflect that layered past.
Operators encourage leave-no-trace practices—cleaning up after pets and staying on designated paths helps protect dune plants and shorebird habitat.
Mad Dogs & Englishmen operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
