About Cowtown Cycle Party

What is The Cowtown Cycle Party?

We’re Fort Worth’s original BYOB, pedal-powered Party Bike! Family-owned and operated since 2012, we offer a one-of-a-kind way to explore Fort Worth, celebrate with friends, and make memories. Every party includes a trained Captain to steer the bike and keep the good times rolling!

What's the difference between a Private Party and a Public Party?

  • Private Party: Reserve the entire Party Bike exclusively for your group. You choose the route, stops, and music. Available for 6–16 adults.
  • Public Party: Purchase individual seats and share the Party Bike with other guests. Come solo, bring a friend, or bring a group! Available for 1–16 ticket purchases, with a minimum of 8 confirmed adults required for the party to go.

How much does it cost?

  • Public Party: $39 per person ($45 including tax).
  • Private Party: $399 flat rate ($450 including tax) for 6–16 adults.
  • Multi-Bike Party: Groups larger than 16 can reserve multiple bikes. Contact us for details. Our full fleet accommodates up to 64 adults. A 20% Captain gratuity is added to reservations of two or more bikes.

Private Party pricing is the same whether you have 6 or 16 guests!

What if I have more than 16 people?

No problem! Our Multi-Bike Parties accommodate groups of 17–64 adults using two to four Party Bikes. Contact us to arrange your reservation.

Absolutely! Cowtown Cycle Party is BYOB. Guests may bring beer, wine, seltzers, canned cocktails, and other canned beverages.

Alcohol is only permitted when everyone on board is 21 or older. Glass bottles and hard liquor are not allowed.

Please bring plenty of water, too!

Do you provide drinks, food, or ice?

No. Bring your own beverages, ice, and snacks. We recommend small, easy-to-eat snacks like chips, pretzels, and cookies. We don’t have room for party platters or charcuterie boards.

The Party Bike Experience

Where can we go?

We cruise through Fort Worth’s Near Southside, South Main Street, Downtown, and Sundance Square areas. We visit bars, quick bites, murals, historic landmarks, and other fun stops along the way.

We do not operate in the Stockyards or West 7th areas.

Can we choose our stops?

Private Parties can customize their route and stops. Public Parties follow a shared experience, so stops and timing are coordinated by your Captain.

Check out our Available Stops page for ideas, or feel free to contact us directly!

Do we have to pedal?

Yes! Pedaling is part of the fun. Your Captain will let you know when to pedal and when to rest. We have non-pedaling seating options available, too.

Can we drive the Party Bike ourselves?

No. Only our trained and employed Captains are allowed to operate the Party Bike. Your Captain safely steers while keeping the party going!

Can we request a specific Captain?

Absolutely! If you have a favorite Captain, let us know when booking. We’ll do our best to accommodate your request.

What should we wear?

Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and athletic shoes that stay securely on your feet. No high heels or flip-flops. 

What should I bring?

Bring:

  • Valid photo ID
  • Cooler with ice and your canned BYOBs (no glass)
  • Small snacks
  • Your favorite upbeat playlist

We provide a Bluetooth speaker for music on board.

How big can my cooler be?

Coolers must be no larger than 26″ long × 15″ tall × 15″ wide and must weigh less than 50 pounds when fully loaded.

We have coolers available to borrow by request, first come, first served. Please let us know when booking. We do not provide ice.

How early should we arrive?

Please have all guests arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled departure to check in, complete waivers, and get ready to party!

Weather, Cancellations & Policies

What happens if it rains?

Rain doesn’t necessarily stop the party! Our Party Bikes have a roof, and we can usually operate in light rain as long as there is no lightning or severe weather alerts.

If you don’t want to ride in the rain, contact us about a Reschedule Credit. If the National Weather Service issues a Severe Weather Warning for your party time, we’ll contact you to arrange a reschedule or credit.

For everyone’s safety, your Captain may end a party early if severe weather develops during your ride. In that situation, a prorated Reschedule Credit will be provided.

What's your cancellation policy?

We understand that plans change! If you need to cancel for any reason, call/text us: 682-422-9253, or email us: info@cowtowncycleparty.com

We provide Reschedule Credits for future parties. Sorry, no refunds.

Do we have to sign a waiver?

Yes. Every participant must complete a waiver on our iPad at check-in. Helmets are optional and available upon request.
