Does bad weather prevent us from riding?
Weather is no problem for us, our large awning keeps guests dry. We have never missed a trip due to rain. The only weather exceptions are: lightning, strong winds, & snow and ice on the ground in the winter.
If severe weather does occur, which would make going on the boat dangerous, Buffalo Pedal Tours reserves the right to cancel the tour and offer the renter a rescheduled trip or store credit. No refund will be issued.
What if our pub crawl tour takes too long?
We are very good at getting back in time for the next group. The guide will tell you when to get back on the bike. If your group does not comply the tour renter will have a late fee applied to their credit card of $50 for each 15 minutes over the two hours.
You will be charged for any damage to the pedal bike during your trip. The tour renter will have the cost of the damage applied to their credit card.

A. The guide/driver.
Do I have to sign a liability waiver?
You should have a reasonable expectation that something could possibly happen. Signing the liability waiver is a requirement. Everyone should read the waiver before they sign it. We expect full compliance with the rules of the pedal tour and the rules of the road.
Should I be nervous about how fast this bike goes?
Not at all. The bike moves at the speed of a fast walk.
