Details

Boise, Idaho, offers a vibrant playground for outdoor enthusiasts, wedged between the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and the wide curves of the Boise River. Known for its approachable scale and sunny, dry climate, this city is perfect for those who want to blend urban culture with fresh-air adventure. Pedals & Pints, a local standout, brings a unique spin to Boise’s outdoor recreation by combining the city’s growing cycling scene with social, fun-filled group experiences. Their fleet features COBI electric bike rentals, ZEM touring bikes designed for longer rides, and the high-energy Pedals & Pints Party Bike—a multi-seat pedal-powered vehicle engineered for group bonding and friendly competition.

Biking around Boise through Pedals & Pints means tapping into more than just transportation. It’s a way to experience Boise’s eclectic neighborhoods, riverfront parks, and burgeoning craft brewery scene all at once. The Party Bike rental is ideal for groups looking to elevate a birthday, bachelor(ette) outing, or just a memorable afternoon. Meanwhile, the COBI electric bikes provide an effortless charge to breeze over Boise’s scenic bike paths, including the greenbelt alongside the Boise River, with its cottonwoods and occasional glimpses of hawks overhead. ZEM touring bikes offer durability and comfort for those aiming to cover more ground, perhaps as far as the fords and trails in the Boise foothills.

Pedals & Pints complements Boise’s reputation as a progressive outdoor hub where sustainability and recreation intersect. Their rentals encourage low-impact, healthy ways to engage with the city and its natural backdrop. Riders receive well-maintained equipment, safety briefings, and local tips to get the most out of their time on two wheels or twelve pedals. This blend of social energy and outdoor accessibility makes Pedals & Pints a distinctly memorable part of Boise’s active lifestyle offerings.
