From the time you wake up until the time you go to bed, we focus on customer service that is friendly, flexible, detailed, and determined to amaze you.

MECHANICAL SUPPORT
Safe, clean, and finely-tuned bicycles are key to each day’s ride. Every Veloscapes trip comes with a professional level mechanic, and your bicycle is well looked after. A repair stand, bicycle tools, small parts, chain lube, and cleaning supplies are provided.

We seek out the freshest artisan cafes, markets, and authentic local cuisine. We also recognize everyone has their favorite culinary tastes and work individually with our clients to ensure the best possible food is available!
CAFES + COFFEE
A local café with fresh baked goods and quality coffee is always a delight. This is typically one of the first points of interest on any Veloscapes outing.
