Explore The State Capital With Sacramento Bicycle Tours

By Maude Moses


The best way to experience the California state capital is with Sacramento bicycle tours. From mid-town to the historic Old Town and museums like the CA State Railroad Museum, visitors can enjoy the sights at leisure. The bike trail is an even bigger treasure trove of attractions and the Delta is ripe for a nature exploration on bikes.

The most popular bike tour is the 32-mile Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail, better known as the American River Bike Trail. It is a treasure trove of attractions like California State University and the Sutter's Landing State Park. Bikers will bump into plenty of lakes and bridges such as Folsom Lake and Fairoaks Walking Bridge.

The best way to spend a weekend here is by exploring the 28 acre Old Town State Historic Park along the waterfront on bicycle. Get a view of California during the gold rush era in the 1800s, and enhance the impact of the historic landmarks by visiting the five museums including the famous CA State Railroad Museum. Take a break for lunch or enjoy a nice picnic spread courtesy the bike tour guide.

For an urban look at the city, pedal out to mid-town to see the architecture and art. The Delta and the Clarksburg wine country can be explored by following the river. This tour usually includes food and wine tastings.

Bike tour guides expect people to BYOB (bring your own bike). There are a couple of popular bike rental stores that have bikes to match any kind of physique. The tour guide waits for participants at the meeting point, and everyone gathers there before starting off.

After a tough day of sight-seeing, guests can unwind at an appropriately bicycle-themed restaurant and drink down cold beers with pizza. Sacramento bicycle tours tend to be a lot more fun than doing the same in other big cities across California like Los Angeles, San Diego or San Francisco. That's mostly because of the unique rural surroundings and the slow pace of life here. Sacramento Bicycle tours
