Guided Bike Tours in Sanford, Florida
Sanford is our home base. The paved riverfront tour starts from Bicikleta Bike Shop in the historic downtown and rolls out along Lake Monroe — no dirt, no technical riding, and no experience needed. It is the tour we point people to when the group has mixed ability or when riding singletrack is not the point of the day.
Best for mixed-ability groups, families, and anyone who wants the ride to be about the town and the water rather than the terrain. Riders who want dirt on the same trip can pair it with Markham Woods Trail, the closest beginner singletrack.
