Guide For Sacramento Bicycle Tours

By Maude Moses


The best way to experience the California state capital is with Sacramento bicycle tours. From mid-town to the historic Old Town and museums like the CA State Railroad Museum, visitors can enjoy the sights at leisure. The bike trail is an even bigger treasure trove of attractions and the Delta is ripe for a nature exploration on bikes.

The Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail aka the American River Bike Trail is a 32 mile path. It is perfect for leisurely biking, and the sights en-route include Sutter's Landing Park and CA State University. There are plenty of parks, lakes and bridges to see, including Folsom Lake and the Fairoaks Walking Bridge.

Old Town Sacramento is a 32 acre historic state park along the waterfront, perfect for a leisurely tour on bicycles. See the Golden State as it was during the 1800s gold rush era, with the impact of the landmarks enhanced by five interesting museums like the California State Railroad Museum. A break for lunch is a good idea, and the tour guide will oblige with a nice picnic spread.

A mid-town tour will provide an urban look at the city, including its art and architecture. A Delta tour will take bikers through rural Sacramento, along the river and through the Clarksburg wine country. Visitors can expect both lunch and wine tastings on this excursion.

Bike tour guides expect people to BYOB (bring your own bike). There are a couple of popular bike rental stores that have bikes to match any kind of physique. The tour guide waits for participants at the meeting point, and everyone gathers there before starting off.

There is a bike-themed restaurant where bikers can enjoy a cold beer and pizza after a hard day of biking and sight-seeing. All said and done, Sacramento bicycle tours offer more pleasure than is possible in other big cities in the Golden State like San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles. The city is uniquely suitable for bicycling because of the slow pace of life and the intensely rural surroundings. Sacramento Bicycle tours
