      We had an amazing experience with our guide, Leslie. The tour was informative, beautiful and easy for all fitness/rider levels. The Mad Dogs & Englishmen shop and coffee cafe are fantastic, a true gem for Carmel 🚴‍♂️☕️🐾

      Murphy’s Carmel Adventure
      We had a wonderful trip yesterday with the company! Our tour guide was incredible, friendly and helpful. We learned a lot about Carmel and also 17 mile drive. She made sure that the puppies were comfortable and that we were all well aware of what we had in store. She took plenty of photos and gave us breaks so the puppies could get out and burn off some energy. We really enjoyed our trip. Thank you so much. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves to get out with their dogs. It was a really fun experience.

      Great experience!
      Amazing experience renting bikes here! Did a self-guided ride with my family in Carmel. I rode an e-bike with a sidecar alongside my black lab, and she loved the experience. No specific skills aside from biking were necessary to use the sidecar and it was super easy to ride with a dog given the electric functionality. Would definitely rent bikes here again. Super friendly team as well!

      New Year fun
      The views were wonderful, as expected. The fun of ridingup and down the hills on great ebikes was an unexpected plus. We also loved the backdoor view of Pebble beach. Stevie gave a great tour, even texting us in advance to layer up and wear gloves so we would be comfortable

      2nd Adventure!!!
      We started the New Year with a wonderful ride with Leslie! This is our second adventure with Mad Dogs & Englishmen Bike shop over the last two years! They have made many improvements for our four-legged friend to be comfortable and safe! A noticeable difference! Thank you to Leslie, for your positive energy, history and fun facts of the area! You were a joy to have with us on the 1st of the new year! ❤️

      Fantastic time renting e-bike
      Rented an electric bike with a sidecar for my dog. It was amazing. Had a great time and my dog loved it. I’ll definitely rent again next time I’m in Carmel.

      Great Carmel Staff, bad business
      We had a pretty rough experience with Mad Dogs & Englishmen... The staff at the Carmel location were really, really great. But we also had to interact with the staff at Monterey and at multiple failed attempts to contact Corporate. Context is that one of our bike chains broke, and the company would not provide a credit or refund for that bike, despite the issue NOT being caused by the rider. Phones were not picked up as the rider was stranded for a while... Finally was able to get through to the Monterey location and they told us we would have additional fees for help! On top of that, we've reached out several times to the business since and they have not replied. Again, Carmel staff was great. But that seems to be a function of those people, and not at all the business over all.

      Great rental it's a must in Carmel!
      This is the place to go for bike hire in Carmel - owned by a very helpful friendly guy who gave us two really nice bikes + helmets with lots of advice / maps on where to ride in the local area - a plentiful selection of bikes available or side cars for those with four legs :-) Had a great time and electric is the way to go as there are some steep hills in the area. Stunning views along the coast and a very memorable experience. Especially liked the football shirt ! :-) Will be back!

      Family bike ride!
      This was so amazing! Me and my girlfriend rented a standard bike and a bike with sidecar for our dog Ace. Ace loved it just as much as we did! 10/10 recommend. Views were spectacular.

      Living the dream
      This was so cool! Riding my bike with my dog? A dream! This is consistently a stop we make when we visit Monterey. Always grab a sweater and a sticker too!

    The first impression was we were in for a treat! There shop is amazing and they stock alot of cool stuff. Then we met the one and only ZANE! He has a wealth of knowledge about the local flora and fauna. There wasn't a question he could not answer in relation to the wild of the area. The specialized bikes we rode were very well maintained and super easy to handle. We will definitely be back to ride again with Mad Dogs and Englishmen.

    We took this tour on the spur of a moment and it was a rather cloudy and chilly day but that did not detract at all from the enjoyment. From start to finish, we were well looked after with helmets, gear instruction, and rules of the road regarding safety. My wife was a little apprehensive about going on one of these bikes but was soon going faster than me! They are really easy to ride and hardly require any effort unless you want to put forth effort. Now to our guide, Zane, was superb! He was born in Pacific Grove and is a marine biologist and environmental advocate so he has a great insight into not only the local history but also the wildlife. He made it a very interesting and informational tour with regular stops at all the focal points. Would highly recommend to anyone.

    The best experience!!!! It’s my 30th aniversary and this trip is the best gift ever.
    The attention and excellent explanations.
    Are magical landscapes and the best way was to explore them by bicycle.
    My husband has problems with his knee but these semi electric bikes were the best.
    I would like one of these stores in Florida!!!

    Knowledgeable, friendly and no pressure service- and gorgeous views along the bike paths! Chose to connect to 17 mile drive (no fee for bikes) and make our way to bird rock.

    Rental comes with the standard ( new looking) helmet, Como Specialized Ebike - other higher priced options available) bike locks and a cool device to allow us to latch our iPhone to our bike. Oh yeah - lights fore and aft and a water holder and a bell… couldn’t ask for more!

    Easy to use if you are a first time rider, and oh so worth the choice!

    It was such a wonderful bike ride experience with Angie. We got to see Carmel and learn so much about the area. The e-bikes were great and helped because it is so hilly there. Angie did a great job of explaining the area and wildlife. I would highly recommend doing this tour.

    Angie was our guide on this interesting and scenic tour. Bikes were easy to use. Angie and the person who greeted us at the shop were very friendly. Very pretty town and a beautiful beach. Angie was very informative on how the prettiness of the town started and how laws have evolved over time. We lucked out and saw dolphins :). I am more about the beach than architect so would have loved at least a 15 minute stop at the beach but all in all nothing bad to say about the experience.

    We took this trip on Oct 4, 2022 the woman conducting the tour was over a 1/2 hour late and had us riding at top speed we were terrified and we are very experienced riders. She didn't stop at stop signs and turned left and almost got hit by a car. We apologized to the driver. then she has the nerve to ask for a tip I wanted my money back!

    Another great tour from Mad Dogs. It was proper lovely riding down by the beach and our tour guide, Quinn, was very knowledgeable and patient with us. The Missus doesn’t move around like she used to and still had no problem keeping up. Cheers.

    It was our first time in the Monterey Bay and our first time riding electric bikes and boy was it a blast. Alex our guide explained everything very thoroughly and made us feel safe and comfortable. He seemed like he knew everything there was to know about the local wildlife. The area is beautiful, the bikes were awesome, and the ride was spectacular.
