“Can highly recommend Fat Tire Company, very friendly, and the tour guide Lincoln was informative and fun. It was the highlight of our London trip. Our kids loved him and a subsequent souvenir teddy was named after him. Great routes through London, our 7 year old coped with it easily. Central London is more bike friendly than our home town.”

“They gave a good tour. However, the electric bikes had issues. Mine had issues with the brakes being very squeaky so the guy had to reposition the frame and another person had issues not having enough power and another had a tire fall off and had to be repositioned. They fixed all the issues during the ride. However, they really keen to get new bikes.”
Review of London’s 3.5-hour East London bike tour, with Borough Market, Tower Bridge, Docklands, St. Paul’s, practical tips, and value advice.
“The bike tour was led by Chris, a great story teller with a good sense of humor. He was knowledgeable and willing to answer questions at any time. Our tour was off the beaten track but also included larger significant attractions. We stopped for a bite to eat or a pint if you wished. The tour was 3.5 hours long and included intimate and not so intimate parts of London. I definitely would not have gotten around to many of the attractions and sights we visited on my own. Chris kept our small crew together and led us safely through the streets. Cheers to Chris, the shop owner and employees,…”

“Saw a whole lot of central London. Great to see sites I normally wouldn't go to such as the different neighborhoods and squares. Learned about the history of the city with humorous anecdotes from our guide Dom. Stopped for pics here and there, wish we had more time for more of those. Enjoyed seeing the city decorated for the holidays with millions of lights strung through the streets. Fun to be biking with other people from around the world. Not sure this tour would be recommended for someone under 18 since you're biking through a crowded metropolis for three hours. Enjoyed the city at night with street lights and music.…”
