What an absolute hidden gem in North Jacksonville! My wife Debbie and I were completely blown away by our Art Bikes tour through the historic districts of Avondale and Riverside. We spent four unforgettable hours riding effortlessly on sleek, silent e-bikes through some of the most charming and beautifully preserved neighborhoods we've ever seen. Not too bad for a guy with a titanium knee replacement! The gardens surrounding these historic homes were breathtaking, and the blend of public art, vibrant murals, and lush greenery made every turn feel like a new discovery. We loved exploring the local shops and quaint restaurants tucked into the area, each one more delightful than the last. Ron, our guide, was fantastic, warm, welcoming, and full of fascinating local history and great tips that truly elevated the experience. The Art Bikes Jax Ron created app made navigation a breeze with its turn-by-turn guidance and fun audio stories at each destination--it's like having a podcast tour in your pocket. This was easily one of the best ways to experience Jacksonville's history, art, and community spirit, all while supporting local artists and public art initiatives. Whether you're a local or visiting the city, don't miss this unique experience. We're already talking about doing it again! read more
