Anchorage Bicycle Day Tours

Love bik­ing? Love art? Then this ebike excur­sion around Anchor­age from Free­wheel Tours is per­fect for you. The 3‑hour, 18-mile trip runs in the morn­ing and after­noon and takes an inti­mate group (there’s a 4‑person max­i­mum) past gor­geous murals, to appre­ci­ate the art and learn the back­sto­ry of each. It’s cul­ture, his­to­ry, and recre­ation wrapped up in one tour — and any­one ages 15 and up who can ride a bike is welcome.

Anchor­age may be Alaska’s big city, but this bicy­cle tour oper­a­tor offers quick proof that the city has a lot of wilder­ness. Choose your ride based on half-day or full-day options, as well as dif­fi­cul­ty. You’ll go from down­town to Moth­er Nature — with moun­tains, coastal views, and the occa­sion­al moose sight­ing — in no time at all. Bet­ter yet, the tours often include beer tast­ings or lunch.

Set right in Anchor­age, this ski moun­tain trans­forms into a sum­mer­time won­der­land for bik­ers and hik­ers. Take a bicy­cle up the lift to the scenic peak and expe­ri­ence one of the many sin­gle-track trails as you descend across var­ied ter­rain at the base of the Chugach Moun­tains or ride the lift up and walk down. It’s the north­ern­most bike park in North Amer­i­ca and a LOAM pass destination.

Rent a moun­tain bike (and all the body armor you need) for a thrilling, two-wheel ride down Mt. Alyeska. Lessons and tours of the route are offered. Or, go for a hike on one of the many area trails, either with a guide or on your own. You can even strap on some cram­pons and go trekking on a glacier. 

Hop on a full-sus­pen­sion moun­tain bike and ped­al your way around the gor­geous Eklut­na Lake with expe­ri­enced tour com­pa­ny Life­time Adven­tures. Rent a bike and set off your own, or take the guid­ed bike tour and gain insights along the way! Com­bi­na­tion tours that include kayak­ing or hik­ing are also available.
