Itinerary

Come along with us as we cruise through some of the hidden gems of Florida's Gulf Coast via e-bike in our Coastal and Historic Towns Tour. Your ride begins at the south border of Palm Harbor on the Pinellas Trail (a rail trail that stretches over 45 miles from north to south in Pinellas County). After your safety debrief and training of the e-bike, we'll take a fast-paced ride (not exceeding 20mph) north to Gulf Shore Park in Crystal Beach, one of the original communities in Pinellas County. From there, we will continue heading north to Wall Springs Park and learn the fascinating history of the natural spring located here before meandering through parts of this beautiful 210 acre park, passing a variety of wildlife and vegetation, then stopping at one of the scenic boardwalks looking out over Boggy Bayou on St. Joseph Sound. Our journey will then take us into Historic Tarpon Springs, known as the Venice of the South due to its 35 miles of waterways and canals. You may even get the chance to spot dolphins or manatee as you ride beside or over some of these waterways in Spring Bayou. We'll also see the Tarpon Springs Train Depot Museum (with time allowed for a brief visit on their operating days/times), the famous Sponge Docks on Dodecanese Avenue which is filled with wonderful local shops, restaurants and various boat tours. Your expert tour guide will point out some of the best places to come back to for a drink or meal before heading over to the Safford house where the 1st female physician in Florida lived. On the way back to our meet-up spot, we'll stop at the Primate Sanctuary to observe some of the beautiful animals and learn what this facility and community is doing to help make a better life for them (donations and volunteering are always accepted)! Your round-trip, 20+ mile excursion will be a breeze using our top-of-the-line e-bikes that come equipped with both pedal assist and throttle to enhance your riding experience.
