Experience Mumbai in the calm and cool of the early morning!
Have you ever seen India’s busiest metropolis before it wakes up?
Pedaling around India’s biggest city would, by day, mean taking your life in your hands. Fancy a cycle ride through the wanted heritage sites of the city you call home to come and see Aamchi Mumbai on a cycle tour with like journey enthusiasts. Let the sights and sounds of the South Mumbai Heritage Bicycle Tour enthrall you under the indigo midnight sky. Breathe in the crisp, cool air you surpass nice monuments, previous structures, and architectural wonders, all lying asleep at the close of day.
While the remainder of the city is barely just commencing to wake up, we have a tendency to take advantage of the empty streets and cool air to explore South Mumbai by cycle. The tour starts at 6 AM and as you wind our way through the back lanes, we’ll visit must-see Mumbai sights just as the Gateway of India and CST Station as well as some hidden gems like Sassoon Dock and Mumbai Panjrapole (cow sanctuary). Safety is the number one priority on this trip, and thus Bicycle helmets are available on request and a second guide cycle at the back of the group.

Cycling in Mumbai!? Is it safe? +
Yes! Safety is our number one priority and we take several precautions to ensure safety. First, we leave early in the morning while the streets are calm and the weather is cool.

In total we cycle 14km (about 9 miles) but that is spread over 3 hours and punctuated by frequent stops for drinks, visiting sights, and some food. In general, the difficulty is very low and doesn’t require participants to be in very good shape.

We use reputable brands such as Hero, which is widely used in India. They are fixed gear models for easier riding and maintenance. The terrain is flat so gears and experience are not required! The bikes are adjustable but we can also provide larger or smaller bikes as required.
What if I have an issue with my bike? +
We fully maintain our bikes, and they are checked before every tour. Issues are rare, but if something happen, our second guide will offer their bike to ensure the tour keeps moving. We can also replace any bike without much delay if necessary.
