The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a valid ID

If you plan to consume alcohol, carry a government-issued ID—drivers enforce drinking age laws and operators may request age verification.

Book early for weekend slots

Tours in Soulard are popular for celebrations—reserve your private slot well ahead, especially for Friday–Sunday evenings.

Dress for city weather

St. Louis weather can shift quickly; layer up in spring/fall and bring sun protection in summer for two hours outdoors.

Plan restroom and bar stops

The bike can pause near bars or the market but has no onboard restroom—use facilities before boarding or during scheduled stops.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk the side-alleys off Soulard Market for murals and small live-music venues
  • Stop at Lafayette Park for a quiet Victorian green space and pond a short ride from the main route

Wildlife

  • City pigeons
  • Red-tailed hawks hunting over the industrial riverfront

Conservation Note

Keep the ride low-impact by disposing of waste at stops, supporting local businesses rather than leaving trash on sidewalks, and following operator guidance about glass and open containers to protect public spaces.

Soulard grew from land owned by Antoine Soulard in the late 18th and early 19th centuries; the neighborhood’s market and brewery culture reflect a long history of trade and brewing in St. Louis.
