This is a combined local Anchorage history and ebike tour. The ebikes ensure a pleasant and relaxing ride covering a large swath of Anchorage city. You will be guided on a tour through Anchorage's history, from pre-colonization through the present era. Along the "way" we'll cover Anchorage's history as a tent city labor camp to the aviation hub to the military buildup in World War II and through the oil-boom of the 1980s. The bike tour will mostly be along Anchorage's scenic greenbelt trails, including the Coastal Trail. Our route also takes us through the Campbell Creek and Chester Creek bike paths, were moose sightings are common. Belugas and bear have also been sighted. All in all it's a fabulous way to spend a half-day in Anchorage, getting to know the city's history, enjoying a near-effortless ebike ride, and seeing the surrounding mountains and (with luck) seeing wildlife.

Q&A

Q: Can you reschedule after booking the eBike History Tour if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, you can definitely reschedule if the weather isn’t cooperating! Just contact Freewheel Art and E-bike Tours directly, and they’ll help you find another date that works. They are pretty flexible, but it’s always good to check ahead to make sure. Also, remember that moose might not like the rain either!

Q: What kind of gear should I wear for the eBike History Tour? Is it casual?

A: Casual, comfy clothes are perfect! Just wear layers since it can get chilly, especially along the Coastal Trail. Sneakers or good biking shoes are a must too. They provide helmets and gloves, but you might want to bring sunglasses or a hat to shield from the sun!

Q: Is this tour suitable for kids? What’s the age limit?

A: Yes! The eBike History Tour is family-friendly, and I think kids as young as 12 can ride their own bike. Just double-check with the provider if younger kids can join on a tandem bike. It’s a fun way for the family to learn about Anchorage’s history together while enjoying the ride.

Just took the eBike History Tour and loved it!

I just got back from the eBike History Tour in Anchorage, and it was AMAZING! The guides really know their stuff and the history part was super engaging. Riding along the Coastal Trail was beautiful, and I even saw a moose! The eBikes make it so easy to ride, even for someone like me who's not in the best shape. I highly recommend this for anyone visiting Anchorage or even locals wanting to learn more about the city's history. Can't wait to do it again!

Considering gifting the eBike History Tour, any thoughts?

I was thinking about getting the eBike History Tour for my partner's birthday. He loves biking and history! Is it a good idea? Also, how does the group size usually work? I want to make sure it's not too crowded.
