Little Big Lyon

Although Paris is usually the first stop on any trip to France, the big little city of Lyon has just as much to offer without all the crowds.

I've never been on an e-bike before; is it easy to pick up?

Yes! We have guests of varying fitness levels and ages join us for this tour as it’s one of the best introductions to e-biking. We use Peugeot ETO1 pedal-assist e-bikes with a bosch pedaling motor, so you can choose your pedaling assistance between 0-4. We will explain the bikes and allow you to practice before beginning the tour.

Is this a family-friendly tour?

This is a great tour for older kids who are about 8+ years old or very young children. We have both 28″ & 26″ frames for kids who can ride their own bike, plus child seats that attach to an adult’s bike for kids ages 0-6 years old. We unfortunately do not have any bikes or accessories that would be good for young kids who can ride on their own or those who need training wheels. We maintain a leisurely pace and have crafted a route that is safe and fun.

What are the covid policies?

Our equipment is sanitized before and after each use, and we will practice social distancing whenever possible. Masks are not required to be worn while riding at this time, however we recommend that guests have one available should they need to enter a place of business (restrooms, snacks, etc.) during the tour.

We provide a knowledgable, local guide, the e-bike, and a helmet. There are no dedicated stops for food or drink, but you are welcome to bring snacks along. Your guide will point out their favorite restaurants/cafés to check out after the tour. Gratuities are also not included in the tour price and at your discretion.

Which buildings will we enter?

This tour is designed to allow you to test the E-bikes in hilly Lyon, explore the city, and learn a bit about its history and French culture. We have built any museum entrances into this tour, but your guide will be happy to provide recommendations for their favorite sites of interest to check out following the tour.

Will my bike have a basket?
