Pedal N’ Party is a 14 passenger, touring, pedal bike that tours the downtown area of Springfield, MA. It has predetermined stops for a group to have an ultimate day/night on the town.
Great for all groups as only 10 people need to peddle while the other four can enjoy the ride. Every tour gets a fun music playlist, a tour host and a driver.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/12″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/mk_page_section]
