You cannot pedal a sixteen-person bike while checking your email, which is most of the point.
Team events fail when they are optional-but-not-really and everyone ends up standing around holding a drink. This one has a job attached, and the job is mildly ridiculous, which is what makes it work.
Sixteen seats covers most teams in one go. Ten pedal, five sit on the lounge bench and one runs the bar, and everyone rotates — so there is no version where the same three people do all the work while the rest watch.
The four things that come up on every corporate call, answered before you have to make it.
Hold the date with a 20% deposit and settle the balance on the day. The price is for the bike, so a shifting headcount changes nothing you pay.
No exceptions, and drivers check IDs. Worth knowing before you invite the summer interns.
We run three bikes. A department of 48 rolls out of Midtown together on a Tuesday for $1,080, about $22.50 a person, each bike with its own driver. Text or call (832) 241-2233 with your headcount and we hold the bikes together.
If you need something other than a card at checkout, ask us — it is a conversation, not a form.
It is still BYOB, which makes it unusually cheap to cater. A cooler of cans costs a fraction of a bar tab. Cans and plastic only — here is the full list, and the drink calculator works out how much to buy for the group.
Midtown is louder and denser. That is the point of it on a Friday night and the problem with it for a work group.
EaDo runs quieter on a weeknight, with more space, street art and breweries rather than dance floors. It is not a separate tour — just ask to work in a stop or two there instead of staying in Midtown the whole way, if your team would rather hold a conversation than shout over one.
Midweek is cheaper anyway, so the two decisions point the same direction.
Places with seating, space and something to do — so people spread out and mix instead of forming one long queue at the bar.
A rooftop terrace with plenty of seating and a skyline view — room for a team to spread out and actually talk.
A full kitchen and a breezy patio — easy to keep a group fed and seated together.
Multi-level lounge seating on Brazos, with room to break into smaller conversations.
Monday through Thursday is $360 for the whole bike — $100 less than the weekend.
