About us
THE BIKE LANE - Adventures near and far for street bikes, in and around the greater Phx area.
(Sorry - we do NOT mountain bike).
Welcome bicycle enthusiasts! We're a Phx-Valley based adult group of fun loving 2-wheelers (yes, many of us have e-bikes!) that explore the parks, greenbelt and local bike trails of the Phoenix area, cool areas of Arizona, old West Rail-Trails, plus bike a European Boat & Bike adventure in Autumn.
No current bicycling experience needed.
We love fun. We are a very social group (no - it's not a race). Come pedal with us as we go adventuring near and far, and make active, positive, interesting friends with similar interests!
Life is too short to stay on the sofa - let's go exploring (on 2 wheels)!!
Make friends, get a little exercise, have some fun.

Mosel River Cruise ~ 2 Cabins left!! VIVA Cruises
Location not specified yetMosel River Cruise – VIVA Cruises (with Bikes). 2026 Sept 16 – 23.
All-Inclusive (Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Snack, Dinner; Free Bicycles; Beer/Wine/Cocktails; Daily Excursions; Gratuities; Wi-Fi)
.
Post-Stay in Frankfurt for Oktoberfest Sept 23 – 26 in conjunction with later Boat & Bike group, so we will all be together.
All the DETAILS are here: https://www.awildadventure.com/2026-mosel-river-cruise
.
Our original Mosel Boat & Bike adventure sold out in a nano-second..
The entire boat is sold out, so I cannot get any more cabins… : (
So here is an alternative…
.
The NEW CRUISE I have arranged is a different deal.
Not better or worst – just different from a traditional Boat & Bike.
.
This is an all-inclusive river cruise, where you get an included day excursion every day, and in the off-time (morn or afternoon), we can take, if you want, one of the bikes that are on board to explore the village we are docked at on your own. Minimal biking – but YES they do have [regular hybrid] bikes on board (very few regular river cruise lines have bikes – it’s NOT common).
.
This is a GREAT river cruise for people that like to bike – but do not want to bike everyday, and want to also do other things. Like wine-tastings, castle visits, walking tours… in addition to optional biking.
.
Sign Up on our website: https://www.awildadventure.com/2026-mosel-river-cruise

I am so sorry I could not accommodate everyone that was originally interested.
And YES - I am going on BOTH of these trips – so I will be with you!
And we will all be together (both groups) in Frankfurt for Oktoberfest. FUN!!
