About this tour
When Mia from our Global Hobo crew pedalled through Old Town Scottsdale on this two-hour party bike crawl, she found a gloriously silly way to hit three bars without needing a designated driver. You're literally powering the bike yourself (with up to 13 mates), stopping at partner venues for drink specials and skip-the-line access, whilst openly cracking tins mid-pedal—exactly the kind of thing that turns heads on a Thursday arvo. It's part fitness, part pub crawl, part spectacle, and totally Scottsdale.
Highlights
- Pedal your own transport between three bars—no waiting for designated drivers
- Exclusive drink specials and queue-skipping at each partner venue
- Open-container party bike rides past curious onlookers in Old Town
- Capacity from one to 14 riders—scalable for small groups or big mates trips
- On-site bottle shop keeps the coolers stocked throughout the crawl
- Certified guide handles navigation while you handle the pedalling
- Helmets and coolers included; ice supplied for the journey
What to expect
The vibe is chaotic in the best way. You and your crew show up to the designated meeting point, meet your guide (who's keeping tabs on hydration and general safety), and climb aboard a bike that seats up to 14 people. Then you pedal—together, in sync—towards the first bar. There's coordination needed, but the guide steers; you just push the pedals and enjoy the breeze and the stares from regular pedestrians. Each of the three bars is set up for your group with specials waiting and no queue nonsense.
It's not a gruelling fitness session, despite the pedalling. The pace is leisurely and social. What caught us off guard was how visible you are—cycling through town with a moving platform of drunk people is exactly as conspicuous as it sounds, which is either brilliant or mortifying depending on your mood. The whole thing wraps in two hours, so it's tight but not rushed.

Good to know
This works for groups of any size (minimum six riders), so it's ideal for buck's nights, birthdays, or just a manic Friday with your mates. You're not sitting passively being driven; you're part of the action. Drink specials and cut-the-line access actually save you money and time. The coolers, ice, and cups are all sorted. Old Town Scottsdale is compact, so the three-bar itinerary doesn't require marathon trekking.
Pedalling whilst tipsy demands reasonable fitness and balance—if you're unwell or have cardiac concerns, this isn't the move. You'll be very visible in public, which thrills some and mortifies others. The minimum headcount is six, so you can't book solo or as a pair. Group dynamics matter; if your crew's out of sync, the ride's awkward. The rule about 21+ is strict. Weather in Scottsdale can be scorching; a midday slot in summer is brutal. Gratuities aren't included, and neither is food, so budget for both.
Bring sunscreen, wear comfy shoes, and stay hydrated beyond the beers. The route is flat and easy, so most fitness levels manage fine. Peak times are Friday and Saturday evenings—book early if those suit you.
