We’re back with Part 2 of our Driver Series!
Nashville Pedal Tavern isn’t just the best pedal tour in Nashville—it’s an experience powered by the incredible people behind the wheel. Our team of fun, knowledgeable, and safety-focused drivers make every tour unforgettable, whether you’re celebrating a bachelorette party, a birthday, or just a great day out in Music City. They’re more than just guides—they’re storytellers, DJs, and your ticket to the best bars and hidden gems in town.
Why Our Crew Make Us The Best Pedal Tour in Nashville
Our drivers are more than just the muscle steering our party bikes through the streets—they’re the heart and soul of Nashville Pedal Tavern. We treat them like family, and it shows in their loyalty and dedication to our team and brand. Their commitment is a testament to the strong bond we share, and it’s why so many of our drivers stick with us for the long haul.
While they’re often the life of the party—part cruise director, part DJ on wheels—they’re also highly attuned to everything happening on, off, and around the bike. Safety is our top priority, and our drivers ensure every ride is as safe as it is fun. On top of that, they’re part-time tour guides, highlighting Nashville’s historical landmarks, must-see attractions, and the best bars in town.
Worried your vibe might differ from, say, a 21st birthday party? No problem! Our drivers are like chameleons, adapting to the unique energy and expectations of each group to make every ride unforgettable. Sure, they may rock one Nashville Pedal Tavern hat, but they wear many hats to keep our party bikes the most popular in Music City.
Read below to meet just a few of our Nashville Pedal Tavern drivers!

We chose the public ride and met some wonderful people with whom we ended up celebrating the after party with!! Great music, excitement, and just plain fun!!!! – Heidi K, TripAdvisor
- Booked the Pedal Tavern after doing research for a bachelorette party while in Nashville August 22-25. No issues w/ booking – they responded to my calls promptly. It was definitely the highlight of the trip for us girls! Our driver, Melissa, couldn’t have been more fun. There were 8 girls in my group and we were matched up with another 8 girls from another Bachelorette Party and we got along so well. You will not regret this attraction. – Ifonly, TripAdvisor
Highly recommended doing this! We were a group of 7 from New Orleans, and shared the ride with some great people we met. Melissa our guide was fantastic!
