In Edmonton It’s Eat, Bike, Repeat

Edmonton founder of Food Bike Tour Vanessa De Oliveira was a server at Earl’s when she began her business, fusing two great ways to experience a city: biking around and trying the food. Most popular in the city of its conception, Food Bike Tours have also expanded to Calgary Banff, Kelowna and Canmore.

All About the Biking 🚴

Biking is a great form of transportation for navigating the scenic River Valley. It’s also is a great form of exercise and suited to people of all ages. While Eat Bike Tours are recommended BYOB (bring your own bike) events, the company also has a fleet of e-bikes and helmets available to rent for those who don’t have one, or who are worried about fitness level. The tour is four hours long, and spaced so that participants will only ride for thirty minutes at a time between stops. The biking level is considered easy to moderate. Expect an easy-paced, social ride that allows for admiring the views along the way.

Bragging Points for a Foodie 🍕

Included in the price of the tour are food experiences at three different local restaurants. With a rotating lineup of partners, you could complete the Food Bike Tour multiple times in a year and not repeat venues. Each stop is a gourmet behind-the-scenes tasting– oftentimes with presentations from chefs themselves. Guests will discover stories from local businesses while helping to support them. 

In addition, a portion of every ticket goes towards benefiting an Edmonton charity organization. Special tours are also held during festivals and on International Donut Day. After your Food Bike Tour is over, you’ll have more knowledge of local restaurateurs, bakers, and chefs, including techniques and ingredients they use to create unforgettable dishes.
