See More, Less Effort, More Fun

Taking part in one of our tours could be the most fun and insightful time you have in London. Why join us? It's simple: See more, less effort, more fun. That's our motto, and that's why we're so passionate about our bike tours being the best way to see London.

SEE MORE

More sights. Less time. We stop at the sights, not just passing them by. Our tours leisurely cover about 11km (7 miles) in 4 - 4.5 hours and include a rest/snack stop. It takes less time to bike between the sights than walk, so save your feet and hop on a cycle. This is not the Tour de France. If you've ridden a bike before, you'll be in great shape.

If we list it, you'll see it. We never miss the chance for a photo opportunity. You'll enjoy entertaining and insightful stories, and anecdotes of London at every stop (no dull and monotonous lectures). Guests often ride in the front to continue the conversation with the guide while safely moving through The Royal Parks.

LESS EFFORT

We often joke, "If you break a sweat, then we are doing something wrong". Fat Tire Bike Tours - London is the first cycle tour to partner with London's Royal Parks, allowing safe and more beautiful access through Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, St. James Park, and Green Park.

London is the most visited city in the world (25 million in 2008) for a reason...there is a lot to see and do. Although London is large, it is quite flat. We ride at a pace that even a novice can appreciate and stick to the cycle paths or bike lanes whenever possible.

MORE FUN

Have a laugh with your mates as you move through the Royal Parks with Fat Tire. Our goal is for you to have the best time possible, which is the focus of our tours. Our guides find the right mix of history, anecdotes, and humour. Your London guide is not only knowledgeable, but also personable, entertaining and an expert in creating group chemistry.

Past customers have emailed to thank us for providing an atmosphere in which they could comfortably visit with people from around the world. From the moment you're on one of our extremely comfortable bikes, you'll be quite pleased to not be on foot or sitting in a bus.

OUR ADULT & KID'S BIKES

Why not embrace your childhood with our California beach cruisers? Ultra-hard seats? Collapsible bikes? Razor-thin tires? Mountain bikes with low handlebars? Not with us..our curvy beach cruisers are the pinnacle of city-biking comfort. With cushy seats, fat tyres (obviously), and handlebars that come up to meet you, it just doesn't get more relaxed. Each have three gears for easy crusin'.

We try and keep a sense of humor and name our bikes - who wants to be Victoria Beckham or Sir Winston Churchill for the day? Also, we have a fleet of kid's bikes: multiple baby seats, two 20 inch and 24 inch bikes, and a two-wheeled tandem. Please see the FAQs or Reservations section for instructions on how to reserve a children's bikes.

DISCLAIMER: The River Thames Bike Tour can only accomodate riders five feet or above. Youth bikes, tandems, and baby seats, are not available on our slightly (only slightly) more advanced specialty tour, the River Thames Bike Tour. Our Royal London Bike Tour (via bike lines and cycle paths in four Royal Parks) is the best choice for guests with small children. Please include the age of the young riders in the Notes section of your Royal London Bike Tour.
