A pedal tavern is a group party bike: riders pedal together while a certified guide drives the route past places such as Music Row and Lower Broadway, with music playing. Using Nashville Pedal Tavern as an example, a public tour runs 90 minutes and costs $49.99 per person, or $52.99 on Friday and Saturday from 8 p.m. A private tour, where your group books the whole bike, is $520 for 90 minutes (Nashville Pedal Tavern). Every rider must be at least 21 with ID. Tours leave from its headquarters at 1504 Demonbreun, about a mile uphill from Lower Broadway. The ride is BYOB within city and state rules: beer or standard seltzer in cans or plastic, no more than 8.0% alcohol, and no glass (FAQ). It suits groups who want a loud, social ride, such as a bachelorette or birthday party. It does not suit anyone under 21, anyone who does not want to pedal, or a group expecting a quiet sightseeing tour.

Is It Right for Your Group?

  1. Yes, if everyone is 21 or over and wants a party on wheels.
  2. Think twice if anyone has trouble pedaling for 90 minutes, or the group wants a quiet tour.
  3. Bring water, as the company advises, especially in warm months.

Why Nashville is known for party groups is in why Nashville is called the bachelorette capital, and staying safe downtown is in whether downtown Nashville is safe at night.
