    The Social Cycle
    Francesca P.

    Found out about the Social Cycle from a friend and always wanted to try it. Both my friend and I had an upcoming birthday so we decided to do a 2-hour private tour in the evening to celebrate. The bike had seats for 17 people, some peddling and some non-peddling. We invited enough friends to completely fill the bike. The booking process was very easy online and the entire amount is required in full at the time of booking. There are plenty of FAQs on the website so you know what to expect before you go. They even email out the waivers ahead of time so everyone can sign digitally and save time. Our captain Stephanie was super accommodating and reached out to me the day before to make sure all of our questions were answered and to plan out a tentative itinerary. Since we're locals, we already had an idea of which places we wanted to hit. Stephanie was knowledgeable about what the best route would be to maximize our time on the bike and at the bars. When we got to the meeting spot, Stephanie and her co-captain were energetic and ready to help us celebrate. They explained the safety rules, we plugged in our playlist, and then we were ready to ride. We started at Oreana, a wine tasting room, then Lama Dog since they have food and our people were hungry, and ended up at 7 Bar since they have a full bar so there were enough drink options for everyone. The time on the bike between each bar felt really short (about 10 min) but I was actually glad because it's very tiring (especially after a few drinks). We all had a blast dancing on the bike and riding around the Funk Zone and were happy to have the Social Cycle team make our birthday celebrations so special. I would recommend this unique activity for both locals and visitors to have a great time with friends and make awesome memories together.

    Yowzas! Social Cycle is such a good time! This eye catching, group pedaling apparatus has long caught my eye in San Diego, Sacramento and Palm Springs. I'm so glad that we finally have a pedal pub crawl in the beautiful backyard of Santa Barbara. I rented Social Cycle for a two-day, private event with up to 16 passengers each day. We met in the Funk Zone across from Metropolis Fine Foods in front of Michael Kate and were greeted by the friendly staff at Social Cycle who got us all checked in and ready to go in minutes. After establishing a few ground rules, we were off and pedaling through the Funk Zone. You can plug in your music on their rockin' speakers and play custom tunes while bopping about as you pedal and wave at passerbys. Choose your pub stops or leave it to the pros to pick your route. Either way plan to stick to the Funk Zone with this puppy because you'd be wiped out if you tried to pedal any further. Social Cycle is an awesome team builder or group activity. Theme crawls make it extra entertaining! Be creative! I did a Villains vs. Super Heroes theme for my group and it was amazing! Thank you to our captains Laura, Eryn and Stephen for bringing the energy and facilitating a fun, safe ride. Your navigation skills are unrivaled! I particularly loved right hand turns sitting on the right side. Yipppeee! I would definitely book Social Cycle again ... It's exciting for locals and tourists alike! It's more about the experience and social activity with your friends than touring Santa Barbara. It's a great way to spend the afternoon, celebrate a milestone or commemorate an event. It's fun and active. Check it out!

    Social cycle is THE most fun group activity I've ever done!! I went for my 21st birthday with seven of my friends. We went on a public tour and the other people on our trip were so great!! We all became friends very quickly. By far the best part of our experience was our captain Steven!! He was super friendly, gave us recommendations, and even took us to an extra bar (usually the public tours are three stops, he took us to four). Definitely ask for him if he's available for your tour. As for those yelpers who feel like they were "left", the only way you'll ever be left by the nice people at social cycle is if you're late, give an invalid phone number, or completely disappear at your stop (@Julia was on my tour and was guilty of all three). Social cycle is completely dedicated to making sure you have a great time!!!

    Erynn was AMAZING!!! This experience wouldn't have been the same without her positive energy! She was so fun, energetic, got along with our group and just made all of us feel like she was one of our friends :)) not being able to drink on board is a bummer but I already knew that before signing up. When you have an awesome driver like Erynn though, it doesn't really matter because she made it super fun. We were a bachelorette group of wild girls and she put up with our craziness the entire time. All the girls had a blast stopping at the bars, getting discounts and just having a blast. Playing music on board was super fun to get us in that bar hopping mood. Thanks social cycle and Erryn!

    Was a lot of fun with all my best friends . Definitely worth doing if you're in Santa Barbara, especially at night!

    I had a "Five & Furious" party for my son. He loooooved this experience with the race cars and…read moretraffic theme, and so did everyone else! They were punctual, communication was great, understanding, accommodating, reasonable, and affordable. Amy and her team were great! Would definitely rent from them again, and recommend to others!

    How Do I Love Thee?…read more Let Me Count the Ways! 1 I originally reached out to them about a year ago just to inquire, and even during that first interaction, I was amazed by how incredible the customer service was. Whoever I spoke with not only shared great ideas but even sent me links for possible venues around Orange County! 2 Fast forward a year later -- we decided our daughter was finally old enough for her racing-themed birthday, and once again, the customer service was impeccable. I must've asked a thousand questions from day one, and every single one was answered promptly, with thoughtful adjustments for the cars and setup. 3 When the big day came, I panicked because the venue turned out smaller than I expected. But Pierre and his teammate -- our assigned instructors -- were absolutely amazing. They calmly helped us figure things out, adjusted as we went, and made everything run perfectly. They truly cared! They arrived right on time, were so efficient, and even my husband told me later that both instructors kept reminding him to make sure I ate something -- apparently, I looked like a hyper energizer bunny having a mini panic attack! 4 The setup and the event itself were wonderful. All the parents had fun, and the smaller venue actually worked in our favor -- no one was glued to their phones! Everyone interacted, laughed, and had a good old-fashioned time, just like the good old days. 5 Lastly, the finishing touches were perfect -- the short highlight reel they made after the event captured everything beautifully. Needless to say, if I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would! They're hands down the best when it comes to kids' parties -- creative, professional, and genuinely caring!
