FAQs

The Cowtown Cycle Party is Fort Worth, Texas’s famous 16-person pedal-powered BYOB party on wheels. We have been in operation since 2012, and love what we do! All our parties are 2-hour Private Parties, with many customizations available. We’re not just a pub crawl! We can visit local murals, scenic spots, historic landmarks, coffee shops, restauarants, and more. Non-drinking tours are available and we make them FUN!

We are perfect for birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, team building events, brewery and distillery tours, sightseeing, girls’ night out – the possibilities are endless! A minimum of 6 pedaling people is recommended to power The Cowtown Cycle Party. We have 10 seats with working pedals in total, and room for 6 non-pedaling guests to enjoy the ride. 

We currently have 3 Cowtown Cycle Party Bikes! You can book multiple Party Bikes and bring even more guests. With all 3 Cowtown Cycle Party Bikes, we can hold 48 guests max. Stay tuned, we will be increasing our fleet soon!

The Cowtown Cycle Party begins and ends every party at our World Headquarters: 809 Galveston Avenue in the Near Southside of Fort Worth, TX. We are one block west of South Main Street.

Free street parking is available. Parking can be limited, so car pooling or ridesharing is recommended. Stay alive– NEVER drink and drive!

We can visit fun spots in the South Main district, The Near Southside, and Downtown/Sundance Square areas. Click here for a list of some of our current favorite places to go during your Cowtown Cycle Party!

Each cooler must be 15″ x 25″ x 15″ or smaller, and weigh 50 lbs. or less when fully loaded with your ice and BYOBs. If you bring too many coolers, or if your cooler is too big, your Captain will ask you to switch your contents to our loaner cooler.

Yes, the Cowtown Cycle Party is pedal-powered and pedaling is required on certain seats! As long as everyone listens to the instructions of the Captain, and tries their best, we will have a fun experience. We can also take breaks along the way and switch seats, so everyone can take turns pedaling and taking breaks.

TIP: Big, heavy coolers make pedaling more difficult! We do not recommend bringing heavy, hard-sided YETIs or other large fishing/hunting style coolers. Your cooler should be 50 lbs. max when fully loaded with ice and your BYOBs.
