Inspired by and modeled after the Connecticut trolley trains that used to travel down main street (Hazard Ave) back in the late 1800s. Our particular Trolley was custom made for us and modeled after the very same trolley cars that were traveling throughout Connecticut and built by Deschutes in Bend,Oregon

Can I jump on when I see the trolley rolling by?
Sorry, but for obvious safety reasons the answer is No. Our bikes are reserved as private group tours and we do not offer per seat tickets options or any hop on hop off style outings . We currently do not mix and match seats on our larger big bike but our small bike is a great fit for smaller groups and can be powered by as few as 4 guests and holds a maximum of 6 guests. The same tour rules options apply on a small bike as a big bike
