Boston offers a dynamic mix of urban culture and rich history best discovered on two wheels. Urban Adventours taps into this with a diverse lineup of bike rentals and guided tours designed to suit every rider’s pace and curiosity—from casual city cruisers to performance road cyclists and mountain bikers ready to tackle off-road trails. Located near key bike paths and the scenic Charles River Greenway, this company captures the pulse of Boston’s outdoor cycling scene.
The flagship City View Tour is an accessible 2.5-hour ride covering roughly 10 miles of Boston’s notable neighborhoods and landmarks. Guides like Austin bring the city’s 400-year-old story alive, steering groups safely as they pass through iconic districts, parks, and harbor sights. For those seeking a more immersive experience, tours such as the Tour de Cambridge or the Emerald Necklace Tour offer routes highlighting local history and green spaces.
Urban Adventours excels with a varied fleet: electric-assist and performance road bikes, fat tires for winter’s slippery streets, gravel bikes for rougher paths, and even tandem and kid-sized options. This flexibility supports riders who want to customize their journey, including families and longer excursions that require cargo bikes with child seats or luggage storage.
Safety and service are prioritized—guides maintain group cohesion and ensure safe crossings, while bike quality and maintenance remain top-notch. The shop's prime location near the harbor bike path grants easy access to some of Boston’s best cycling corridors.
Whether it’s a casual city cruise or a vigorous ride along the Charles River, Urban Adventours integrates urban adventure with a practical approach to bike travel, making it a standout choice for both visitors and locals looking to engage with Boston’s outdoors in an active way.
