If the dune buggy and the sewing wheel hadn’t enjoyed that fateful tryst so many years ago, the bicycle might never have been born. Honor the proud parents of pedal-powered progress by holding tight to the handlebars of today’s Groupon to Bike Palm Springs. Choose from the following biking options:

• For $25, you get a full-day tandem bike rental (a $50 value)
• For $15, you get a full-day premium bike rental (a $30 value)
• For $12.50, you get a full-day standard bike rental (a $25 value)

Bike Palm Springs gives day-trippers the retro-styled cycling essentials they need to tour the neighborhood on two wheels. The shop’s tandem and premium bicycles are bedecked with a Fifties flair, as evidenced by their softly curving frames, handlebar tassels, and propensity to threaten inconsiderate drivers with a knuckle sandwich. A tandem bike also allows one half of your Beat poetry quartet to snap in unison as you tear across the level Palm Springs terrain. Celebrity abodes and architectural sites give you plenty to look at during a carefree day of soaking up vitamin D and clearing the cobwebs from your cardiovascular condition. Helmets and locks are included with your rental.

Eight Yelpers give Bike Palm Springs a perfect five-star rating and TripAdvisors give it a 4.5 owl-eye average: > * We rented one tandem (a blast!) and three “premium” bikes; the bikes were all very easy to use and were all well maintained. – Bill C., Yelp > * The bikes we had were perfect for our ride around town. The proprietor was friendly and anxious to make our experience a fun time. – ErnieV897, TripAdvisor
