Our Safe Restart Plan to welcome you back to our bikes

UPDATED June 29:  We will not be able to start Full-Capacity rides as we hoped to on July 1 when we originally published this post on June 5th.  As COVID-19 numbers have crept up in Michigan, the reopening of Michigan has been slowed by our Governor’s orders.  We are working on a subsequent plan to take care of all our customers who have already booked to offer alternative arrangements.  Through at least July 10th, we will continue to offer limited capacity rides that allow for a maximum of eight people.   To those looking to book, we are still accepting reservations.  We hope to have our full July plan announced in the next day or two and our website pricing updated too.

When we update our system, pricing will be as follows:

Monday – Thursday $225 (approx $28 per person with 8)

Friday & Sunday: $275 (approx $35 per person with 8)

Saturday: $325 (approx $40 per person with 8)

POSTED JUNE 5, 2020

The Michigan Pedaler is ready to start accepting reservations for the Summer of 2020!

After voluntarily closing in mid-March, and following the Stay Home Stay Safe mandate, we look forward to welcoming guests to a safe and fun environment.

The health of our employees and guests are forefront in our concerns.  We want you to feel comfortable riding our bikes while celebrating family and friends.  We have instituted the following policies and rules as we relaunch in this new environment.

• We are not offering any “Buy a Seat” rides. All rides are PRIVATE tours with only the guests invited by the person making the reservation.  You control the invite list and who rides with you.
• Through June 30^th, we are limiting the number of guests on our bike to eight (8). NO EXCEPTIONS. You can still rent multiple bikes for your party and they will all go off together.  Just pick two time periods 10 minutes from each other.  (2 bikes for up to 16; 3 bikes for up to 24 etc.)
• Guests will sit every-other-seat on the bikes.
• As always, we will work with you to plan a tour that matches your interests.  If you prefer not to visit bars as part of the tour, we can work with you on alternative ideas.  Our phone is always open and we are happy to craft a plan that works for you and any special needs.

We have taken the following safety protocols:

• TESTING: Drivers will take a COVID-19 test and test negative before the resumption of business.
• HEALTH SCREENING: Before each shift, temperatures of our drivers will be taken and they will be asked a series of health screening questions.
• MASKS: All drivers will wear masks while in the company of guests.
• FACE SHIELDS: All drivers have been provided and given the additional option to also wear a face shield.
• CLEANING & DISINFECTING: All bikes have been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
• SUPER SOLUTION: All bikes are cleaned with RMR-141, a commercial grade full-spectrum antimicrobial, disinfectant, sanitizer, cleaner, and fungicide. It is on the EPA’s list of acceptable disinfectants for use against SARS, COVID, etc.  Bikes will be cleaned before each ride and during the ride as necessary.
• HAND SANITIZER: Hand sanitizer will be available on all of our bikes.
• TRAINING: All drivers have been trained on our new policies and procedures. A new COVID-19 manual of rules and procedures has been produced and kept in garage for reference.  All drivers received a PDF copy of this too.

We are excited to welcome you back.  The Michigan Pedaler’s mission has been as simple as to bring people together to have fun and celebrate good times — all in the company of great family and friends.  We learned through March, April and May what it’s like to miss that human physical contact that all humans long for.  It’s exciting to once again be able to celebrate the good times in life with those we love most!

Our entire team of drivers welcomes you back to The Michigan Pedaler to create more special moments.   Let’s have some fun this summer! #PursueHappiness
