Bike technology has improved tremendously since the original Tour de France, when competitors furiously pedaled cycles with roquefort cheese wheels and steered them with handlebar moustaches. Pedal into the future with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get a one-day beach cruiser, mountain bike, or hybrid bike rental (up to a $34.50 value) from Barton Springs Bike Rental. This deal is also valid for children’s bikes, available in three sizes.

Barton Springs Bike Rental equips two-wheeled wranglers with smooth-riding cycles, allowing them to explore Austin and its untamed outskirts from the seat of a stylish velocipede. Single-speed beach cruisers and mountain bikes are saddled by confident peddlers, while whippersnapper cyclers can choose from three junior sizes. For an extra fee ($5), each cyclist may also attach a kid seat to their bike to accommodate freeloaders under 40 pounds or copilot cantaloupes. For a quicker paced adventure, hybrid bikes send patrons zooming across the city for an enjoyable jaunt or to test out the bike's road rolling capabilities. Saddle up as early as 9 a.m. and meander through nearby Zilker Park’s verdant meadows, or traverse 10 miles of trails around Lady Bird Lake until 9 p.m. during the summer months. Make the most of Austin’s bountiful bike lanes, soaking in the sights that can’t be enjoyed from the blur of a car window or the recoil of a pogo stick. Customers can also upgrade to a tandem cycle by paying the value difference when visiting the rental shop.
