FAQ

YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS. WE’VE GOT ANSWERS.

Thursty Pedaler is a one-of-a-kind, human-powered party bike that will take you and your friends through an amazing Ottawa neighbourhood, with stops along the way at three local destinations for drinks and a lot of laughs!

We can host up to 14 thursty pedalers! There are 10 pedaling seats and four non-pedaling leisure seats.

Tours require a minimum of eight riders to operate and a maximum of fourteen riders. If the minimum is not met, we reserve the right to cancel or reschedule the tour. A company representative will reach out prior to your scheduled tour date if the tour needs to be rescheduled or cancelled. 

You bet they can! We are once again accepting mixed groups. This means you can book an individual seat OR a handful of seats without reserving the full bike. If you wish to have a private Thursty Pedaler experience, all 14 seats must be booked.

Due to provincial and municipal liquor laws, open alcohol is not permitted on the bike. You are however able and encouraged to bring aboard your own snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. Trust us: there will be plenty of time to refuel at our awesome partner stops along the way!

We would be sad if you didn’t. But just ensure they are functional on the bike.

Good vibes. These tours are super fun and interactive. While laughing and pedaling through the streets, you will put smiles on the faces of those we pass. And how good does it feel to just be OUT with friends ??

A Canadian Attitude. Exercising patience, apologizing profusely, and being overly polite to our staff and the staff of our local partners is strongly encouraged.

Your ID. These days with all the Botox and filler out there, who knows how old anyone is anymore! 

In Canada’s Capital, we never know what type of weather Mother Nature is going to throw our way; however, we brave the elements. Tours run rain or shine! In extreme cases, if the weather poses safety risks to our riders and staff, the group can either request to reschedule or cancel.

A full refund will be issued for cancellations more than 15 days prior to scheduled tour date. A rain check, valid until the end of the season, will be provided for cancellations within 15 days and seven days prior to the scheduled tour date. No refund or rain check will be issued for cancellations less than seven days prior to the tour date. 

All rides are paid in full upon booking. If the tour is cancelled by Thursty Pedaler, we will provide a full refund or give you the opportunity to rebook on a future date.

Heck ya! Kindly email cheers@thurstypedaler.com ahead of time if you plan to dress up the Thursty Pedaler party bike. 

All Pub Crawl riders must be a minimum age of 19 years old. Ideally riders are a minimum of 5’ tall to comfortably pedal on the bike. Riders of all heights are welcome, though shorter riders may be more comfortable riding in one of our leisure seats. 

Does a bear poop in the woods? (Please no pooping or bears on our bike though.) Dance away to our Thursty Pedaler playlists or create your own for the occasion. We can support your device on our speakers, but we cannot guarantee all your friends will support your music choice.

We encourage comfortable footwear. We strongly discourage flip-flops, open-toed shoes, and high heels. Dresses and skirts have their obvious limitations. Dress up, dress down, but dress for the weather. Thursty Pedaler runs rain or shine! There is storage on the bike for shedding layers when necessary.

Beverages are not included at each partner location. Samples and/or special pricing are offered to Thursty Pedaler riders along the way. Grab a drink at each spot and support local businesses!
