Presque Isle Pedal Power Tours, Erie

Imagine winding through a state park atop a bicycle, coasting down tree-lined trails and past gentle Lake Erie waves as they lap against the shore. Now imagine that the bicycle holds 14 people and a professional driver. This is what Presque Isle Pedal Power Tours offers: a new way to explore the surroundings, get fresh air, and socialize. On the tours, groups power the contraption, which comes equipped with a stereo system and a backup motor for if the motors inside your legs break down. A tour guide narrates the leisurely jaunt, sharing the history of the 3,112-acre park and pointing out notable sites such as the lighthouse, the marina, and the 13 sandy beaches.
