Sydney’s pub scene just got a pedal-powered upgrade, and it’s got us reaching for our helmets (and maybe a pint).
Meet The Travelling Tavern, the city’s quirkiest new way to explore, drink, and cycle your way through iconic streets and pubs. Whether you’re a history buff, pub crawl pro, or just looking for a unique day out, these tours are the perfect mash-up of fun, fitness, and frothies.
Born from a spark of inspiration during the first lockdown. Scrolling through social media, founder, Shauna Doyle stumbled across similar tours overseas, with riders beaming, laughing, and creating a buzz as they pedaled through city streets. The thought? “We need this in Sydney!” That idea became a passion project, and nearly four years later—after jumping countless hurdles and navigating legalities—The Travelling Tavern is ready to roll. The goal? To bring people together, create lasting memories, and add a little extra magic to Sydney’s vibrant streets.
Guests have the option to choose from a range of tours from the “On the Rocks” tour, where pedalers are invited to soak up historic tales of the city, snap Insta-worthy pics at iconic landmarks, and cap it off with the finish line at the pub. For those craving a livelier pace, Pedal & Pub lets you cruise The Rocks with your squad, belting out bangers as you roll between two of Sydney’s finest watering holes. It’s perfect for hens, stags, birthdays, or turning that awkward work team-building day into a slightly boozier bonding session.
If food is more your jam, keep an eye out for the upcoming Bike, Bites & Brews tour. It’s a foodie’s dream come true, with carefully curated stops that combine pedalling with some of sydneys favourite restaurants and bars. And if none of the pre-set tours tickle your fancy, why not go rogue? The Travelling Tavern offers fully customisable tours to craft the ultimate adventure for any occasion—special events, marketing stunts, or just a cracking good time.
With bikes, brews, and bangers in the mix, The Travelling Tavern delivers a fresh twist on Sydney pub crawls you never knew you needed. Ready to roll? Head to thetravellingtavern.com.au and book your ride today.
