This was our favorite touring experience during our week visit to Tucson. Jimmy took us to several areas of Tucson and described a variety of interesting facts and tidbits of information on history, architecture, development, weather, and culture. It was a great way to experience and learn about its different neighborhoods and philanthropists at a leisurely pace. Jimmy is a Tucson historian sharing factual, relevant information. Many interesting local stories of people of Tucson's past. The bikes and equipment were current and in flawless condition. We loved the single speed! We felt very safe. If you want to learn about Tucson's history past and present up close and personal this is a perfect way to do so. We highly recommend it. Linda and Jack from Minnesota

"Learn about Tucson's past and present up close and personal." I couldn't of said it better myself. Thanks for the review and stay warm in Minnesota. I can't wait to get up there for some paddling this summer.

The tour was interesting and gave a perspective on Tucson history right at ground level. The guide was well informed and well researched. He obviously had passion for his work. The length of the tour was just right. My only complaint is with the single speed, coaster brake bikes, which i found tiring to ride and uncomfortable, especially in this start and stop situation.

Gary, Thanks for the feedback. I love my job, so I'm glad that shows. I sure wish you would have mentioned your issue with your bike during our shakedown ride in Ironhorse Park. As I mentioned, we have another type of bike which offers lever brakes and a step-thru frame, which for many people is easier for getting on and off. I will definitely show people the differences between the two bikes going forward. Sometimes looking at something is better than hearing about it. Thanks again for the feedback -- Jimmy
