About Guided Bicycle Tours
Why We Ride the Way We Do
We’re not about the usual tourist stuff - we’re all about those offbeat cycling routes that show you the real side of the outdoors. Every trip is planned down to the last chai stop and sunset view. I think the best way to travel is by bike, whether you’re in it for the thrill or just want to soak in the vibe.
Who Can Join?
Honestly, anybody. Doesn’t matter if you’re new to this or you ride every weekend. We break our guided cycling adventures into three levels:
- Level 1: Easy peasy, flat, scenic, good for first timers.
- Level 2: Bit more action - climbs, mixed terrain, fun descents.
- Level 3: Tough, long, technical, for those who live for the burn.
If your plus-ones aren’t into cycling, some tours have chill options for them too.
What’s Included
- Local lead riders who know their way around
- Support vehicle + mechanic for any fix-ups
- Top bikes for rent, or we can move your own to the start
- Food’s a big deal - expect great breakfasts, local snacks, and lakeside picnics
Where We Go
From morning spins around Bangalore’s scenic bike trails (Nandi, Arkavathi, lakes) to proper multi-day bike tours in places like Hampi, Gokarna, or Coorg. If you’ve got your own dream route, we can plan that too.
We ride because it’s a different way to see the world. More real, less ordinary.

My Story
We started Pedal in Tandem just to escape the city noise, to find freedom on two wheels. There’s nothing like crunching gravel, winding through sleepy villages, or discovering a secret trail. We spend ages scouting those hidden roads—half the fun’s in the journey, the climbs, the people you meet. And yeah, we’re bike nerds too. We build custom adventure bikes for folks who want something different. Whether it’s the Himalayas or a lazy Sunday in Bangalore, we’re here for the memories.
My Work
Curated Bicycle Tours & Retreats - We run single and multi-day offbeat cycling tours, retreats, and heritage rides—routes you won’t find on Google Maps.
Custom Adventure Bike Builds - We build made-to-measure bikes for those who want something truly their own, not just another showroom cycle.
Cycle School for Beginners - We help new riders get started, from basics to longer rides, in a chill, no-pressure way.
Rides for All Levels - Easy 25km spins, tough 65km+ climbs—there’s a ride for every mood and skill level.
More Than Just Cycling - We mix in yoga, art, organic farming, birdwatching—think of it as a full mind-body escape.
