Highlights
This tour will take guests through 4 unique communities in North San Diego County; Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff By-The-Sea, and Encinitas. This tour is unique because we will be able to cover nearly 15 miles in 2.5 hours on capable and easy-to-use electric bike. All of our bikes have different levels of pedal assist, as well as different options for using a throttle. We have bikes suitable for riders 5'0" and taller, but we also have options for children! We have two (2) Rad Power Radwagon cargo bikes which have seats for up to two children. Additionally, we have child seats for children up to 45 pounds that can be installed on our electric bikes. Our tour guides have extensive knowledge of the North County area about local cuisine, beer and wine options, artisans, art galleries, local surf spots, and so much more. If you have something that you are dying to see, do, or learn about in the area, please ask us! Please note that much of the riding will be on street or in bike lanes

Itinerary
We will stop at the beautiful and historical meditation gardens founded in 1938 but Paramahansa Yogananda. We will be able to walk through the gardens if desired! Edit; due to the Covid-19 pandemic we are unable to go into the gardens but will resume our walks through the gardens as soon as possible. In the meantime we will stop at the border of this property to enjoy the stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.
The Del Mar Racetrack has been the central hub of Del Mar since it's inception by Bing Crosby in 1936. The fairgrounds have hosted the Del Mar Fair (aka San Diego County Fair), thoroughbred horse races, and for two years during WWII the Del Mar Racetrack was closed to use the space to construct parts for B-17 Bombers.
VG Donuts is an iconic donut shop/bakery that has been owned and operated by the same family since 1969 (three generations!). We can stop in and grab a fresh donut if desired. Also nearby are the classic Pipes Cafe, as well as Besta-Wan Pizza (Encinitas' oldest still existing restaurant!)
This lagoon is one of San Diego’s largest wetland at 979-acres. This ecological reserve is primarily a shallow-water estuary, formed where the Escondido and La Orilla Creeks meet the Pacific Ocean. I love showing guests this portion of the tour at the lowest or highest tides, as they can come back 6 hours later to see how different the reserve looks with the tidal differences.
Fletcher Cover Park is a local's secret for basketball, beach access, and a playground for kids. There is also a lifeguard station here and a ramp for easy access to the water. Public restrooms and showers here make this a perfect spot for a family beach day. Around Christmas time they also put up a beautiful Christmas Tree with ornaments for everyone to see and enjoy.
Moonlight State Beach is a huge attraction for families. With firepits, volleyball courts, plenty of sand, and a concession stand for snacks, there is something for EVERYONE. We will take you right past it so you know where to go cool off after the tour with a dip in the ocean.
The Encinitas Boat Houses are an iconic funky spot in Encinitas. These Boat Houses have never felt the salt of the sea, but you would never guess when looking at them! Constructed from an old bathhouse and hotel, these homes are rented out for a premium. While we cannot enter the houses currently, there are talks of turning them into a museum/historical landmark open for tours in the future.

5Rachel gave us an awesome day of touring on ebikes!
Rachel did a great job taking us on our tour! The bikes were so fun, the bits of history scattered into our stops was super interesting and it was just a great day riding around the beach towns.
5Relaxing Coastal bike ride with tour guide
Rachel was an excellent tour guide who provided good knowledge of the area, provided perfect areas to take photographs, great food venues to go to, and took us around residential areas. My husband and I really enjoyed the bike tour. I would highly recommend taking a bike tour with this company.
5Great ride along gorgeous coast with sea breezes
Wonderful bicycle tour with e-bikes alongside the coast and a few towns. Easy, scenic, good allocation of riding and breaks. Rachel was friendly, safety-conscious, and easy to ride with.
5Do it and have fun
Excellent. Great way to see the city and surrounding ones. Highly recommended
4Thrills not spills
We are seven guys that had a great time. The bikes were not what I expected. I wish they had been a full frame bike. our tour guide was fantastic. He kept us together and was great on sharing information about the local area. The equipment all work well. No one fell, we had a lot of thrills along the way. This was a private group and it felt like one. It was fun.
5A great ride for 3 friends
A great first experience on an ebike. 3 50+ friends enjoyed this tour and pedaling just the amount we wanted. Power assist was awesome. Justin was knowledgeable and shared great stories and good local tips .

About Carlsbad
Carlsbad is a seaside city in northern San Diego County, California, with a walkable village, wide beaches, lagoons and hillside fields of spring flowers.
Carlsbad lies on the Pacific coast of California between Oceanside and Encinitas, in northern San Diego County. The city took its name from the Bohemian spa town of Karlsbad after a local well was found to have similar mineral water, and a small Village centre still stands by the railway and the sea. Carlsbad State Beach runs along the bluffs, and the Coast Highway is lined with shops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Carlsbad: Carlsbad Village, Carlsbad Premium Outlets.
