Big Blue Pedaler is a Lexington, Kentucky-based pedal pub operator offering guided, group cycling experiences through downtown and neighborhood routes. Founded to showcase local bars, breweries, public art and culture, the company operates themed two-hour rides most evenings and weekends plus select three-hour private events. Big Blue Pedaler's public offerings include evening brewery hops, mural tours, college nights, family-friendly Sunday Funday rides, and holiday specials such as a St. Patrick's Day Parade bike for private groups up to 14 people.
Operations focus on licensed, age-restricted events where required: most beer-focused rides are limited to participants 21 and older, while family and art tours accept riders aged 12 and up; college night accepts riders 18 and up. Each tour is led by trained guides who manage route safety, local stops and onboard seating. Vehicles are maintained for group comfort and inspected routinely to meet local regulations.
Booking is handled through an online reservation system with set departure times and clear age, duration and capacity details for each trip. The business emphasizes transparency about pricing, start locations and safety rules to help guests plan. Local partnerships with breweries, bars and cultural sites strengthen route variety and community trust. Big Blue Pedaler's consistent schedule, clear age policies and private-group options make it a reliable choice for visitors and residents seeking guided social cycling experiences in Lexington.
Safety briefings, helmets on request, and accessible pickup locations are provided when available to accommodate groups, private events, tourists, locals and special celebrations throughout the entire year.
