    I've actually used city bikes all over NYC, they're a little beaten up but the convenience is fantastic. We're not trying to get a workout on the bikes, it's just a great way to experience as much of the city as possible. Most of these tours only cover 10-15km over 3-5 hours so they're...

    BA bike guide

    I believe it! We contacted one group that asked for $300 for three of us for 4 hrs. Subtract the bike rental and that is $60+ an hour.

    BA bike guide

    Great recommendations, thank you. I will reach out directly on WhatsApp. Biking is such a great way to experience new cities, you can cover so much ground and still capture the feel of neighborhoods and their architecture and green spaces. Also easy to stop for food & drink anytime you like...

    BA bike guide

    Hi All, Thanks again for all the advice on Mendoza/Bariloche/Iguazu, really great insights to be found here. I have another request that is a bit more specific - does anyone know a bike guide that is reasonably fit, so we can cover a decent amount of ground in 4-5 hours? Group tours are...

    Thanks for the good advice, I can see how everything gets backed up and suddenly it's no fun at all.

    Oh wow. Maybe it's not such a bad thing getting snowed in there - the skiing must be extraordinary!

    Newcomer Two-day side trip in August - Mendoza or Bariloche?

    That is a haul indeed. I think you can fly BA to San Rafael and then it's a 2 hour drive to Las Llenas. Let me know if you're coming down, we're there Aug 9-19.
