Party bike PedalBoro returns to downtown Peterborough

Peterborough's party bike PedalBoro is returning to downtown for its third season beginning Friday (June 9).

The iconic teal 15-passenger party bike will run Fridays through Sundays from June until October for pub crawl tours and private parties as well as unique team-building experiences.

"As we embark on our third year in operations, we are opening this season with a real sense of purpose," says Peterborough resident Peter Rellinger, who owns and operates the seasonal business along with Hillary Flood. "Our mission has always been to showcase the incredible people and places that make downtown Peterborough so unique."

Focusing on downtown Peterborough's food and beverage scene, PedalBoro has proven to be a significant tourist attraction with 60 per cent of its clientele coming from out of town.

"PedalBoro tours build connection and community pride back into our downtown core, add in a little dash of adventure, and we are able to create this special sauce that can only really be experienced by bike," Rellinger says.

PedalBoro has also found 89 per cent of tour guests support downtown restaurants, cafés, and pubs before and after the tours.

"As our community continues to show its resiliency through economic hardship, PedalBoro has an important role to play," Flood says. "We are here to roll up our sleeves and do our part, and to do it with a bit of flair and a whole lot of razzmatazz."

Rellinger and Flood first launched PedalBoro in 2019, but had to put the business on hold for the next two years because of the pandemic. They returned for their second successful season last summer.
