Seeing the world by bike beats seeing the world by bus, as bus tours are often ruined by engine exhaust, construction detours, and guides who deliver facts by honking them in Morse code. Enjoy the calm of an engine-free trek with this Groupon.

Choose Between Two Options

• $15 for a half-day city bike rental (a $30 value)
$15 for $30 worth of bicycle rentals, bicycle-vehicle rentals, and other outdoor-gear rentals, such as a city bike ($12/hour) or a tandem bike ($15/hour). See the full lists of available rentals at the Boathouse Row location and at the LOVE Park location.

Armed with maps, helmets, locks, and lists of noteworthy sites, riders pile into surreys, deuce coupes, or bicycles, embarking on self-guided tours of Philadelphia. Routes guide riders down Boathouse Row, where bobbing homesteads dot the Schuylkill River, and toward famed city sites such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Jaunts into Olde Towne include pit stops at locales such as the US Mint and Penn's Landing, and forays into Fairmount Park meander by the Philadelphia Zoo. Wheel Fun Rentals recommends wearing comfortable clothes and shoes and bringing along sunglasses, sunscreen, and a camera. Surrey bikes are not available at the LOVE Park location.
