American Riviera Bike Tours and Rentals - Santa Barbara, California

Cori L.

We did the Taco Tour & Biking with Mike & American Riviera Bike Tours and had an absolute blast! The ride was easy and scenic, and we loved exploring Santa Barbara on two wheels. Mike was super friendly and knowledgeable - he made the whole experience feel fun and laid-back while pointing out cool sights and sharing interesting local info along the way.

The tacos were incredible - each stop had its own unique flavor, and we honestly couldn’t pick a favorite. The weather was perfect, which made the day even more thrilling. It was such a fun way to experience the city, and the mix of food, fun, and fresh air made for unforgettable memories.

Can’t recommend this tour enough!

We had a great experience renting bikes. Mike was knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. Super easy rental process. We had amazing views and the map gave a great overview of
where to go. The prices were beyond reasonable- definitely worth it!!! This is the place to go if you’re looking for an e bike adventure
(I possibly wrote 2 reviews due to it saying it wasn’t saved- but I’d definitely give 2 good reviews anyway)

My family of three rented bikes for the afternoon in Santa Barbara from American Riviera Bike Tours. It was a really seamless experience. Prior to our rental we got good advice on where to park our car, where the closest public restroom was and where to ride our bikes. The bikes themselves come with helmets, a bottle of water, and a map with nearby trails. The bikes are in good order, fully charged and shiny and clean. I was really grateful at the calm and stress free experience that made for a good time on our trip. Thank you!

Great bike rental place! The owner, Mike, was very kind and helpful and took the time to explain the features on different bikes. I got a pedal assist bike which was super easy to ride and my boyfriend got a mountain bike which he was obsessed with because it was super light weight and easy to ride. Pricing is great and the location is also nice since it’s right by the beach. Mike provided a map and water. Overall amazing experience. Thank you Mike!!!

Went again to rent the same bikes from Mike. This is the only place we’ll rent bikes from in Santa Barbara. Mike is really great! He gave us a helmet, bike lock, and water. Thanks Mike!

This is a fabulous e-bike tour in Santa Barbara. We booked the 10 am to 12:30 pm which was great because there are several lunch spots nearby to conclude the outing. Mike is easy going, knowledgeable and takes you to beautiful spots that aren’t all accessible by car. This is such a great way to cover a lot of ground in a short time. We enjoyed every minute and would absolutely recommend.

Easiest the most friendly, bike rental in town! Mike was super friendly, set us up with helmets and a lock, and the price was so reasonable for a full day rental. He gave us a map with points of interest marked and payment was a breeze. 10/10 would rent here again! Check out the neighborhood near the rental spot as well - super cute and amazing coffee.
