Easy riding at the bike path. All the way to bird refugee lake. Good way to discover Santa Barbara. We had a good ride.

We were in town for one day and found this a great way to cover some ground quickly. The ride along the waterfront is a must and really beautiful.

TripAvisor Reviewer

The staff was very friendly and helpful and the prices were very affordable for the area. It was the best way to see all of Santa Barbara without worrying about a car.
