Katy has the travel bug worse than anyone you have ever met, and that is a good thing. Always a runner Katy took to bicycle touring while living in Berlin, Germany. Her first bicycle adventure is now one of Beer & Bike Tours featured rides in Germany, The Spree Radweg. Never to take the easy route Katy began touring pulling Katy and Bob’s daughter Suzy in a trailer. 7 years later Katy has completed many cycling adventures and continues to expand her travel horizons. Along with guiding Katy helps to design and promote many of Beer & Bike’s Adventures.

Traveling with children? As parents we understand combining adult and kid activities is a must on family vacations. With this in mind we offer what we call “Root Beer and Bike Tours.” These trips are offered on the same routes with the option of renting trailers or trail-a-bikes for the kids. If your children are a little older we also have smaller size bicycles and helmets available. Along with ending at a brewery for the parents we carefully select kid friendly places with food and refreshing drinks for the kids. Any of our tours can be adjusted to be family friendly or we can create a custom adventure specifically for your family.

Join us in Japan for a multi-city adventure by bicycle and train. Each region of Japan has special charm. On this adventure we will begin by exploring Tokyo.

At Beer & Bike we are small by choice. We intentionally keep our groups under ten guests, unless arranged in a custom tour.

Our guides have either lived or traveled extensively in the areas in which they guide. This allows us to share the local flavor and culture of each location.

Ride at your own pace. We want you to enjoy your holiday at your speed not ours. We will not rush you along the way.

On a Beer & Bike Adventure you will stay at a mix of specialty lodging, bed & breakfast, and local hotels. We work hard to find locally owned and operated lodging to give you a real feel for an area. Your luggage will be transferred for you each day of the tour in our support vehicles.

Meals provided on your adventure will feature local cuisine and regional specialties.

Our guides ride along with you and are there to encourage and help along the way. You will be given turn by turn directions or GPS information to help you stay on track. The Beer & Bike support van is always close in case the weather takes a turn for the worst or if you would simply like a break for a little bit.

There is always a cold “recovery” beverage ready for you at the end of each day’s riding!
