"My husband and I (ages 66) rented Art Bikes from Ron and it was a wonderful experience. The tour from the app worked perfectly. We were able to do a bit of the architecture tour (for me) and then easily switch to a longer tour that my husband wanted to do. You don't need any special earphones as the volume on my iphone was adequate. I highly recommend th..." Read more

"Ron is a GREAT ambassador for Avondale - introducing visitors and local, alike to a residential area that many aren’t familiar with. In addition, he highlights local artists by showcasing their talents on his e-bikes. This was my 2nd tour with him and it’s always a pleasure. Worried about that biking experience - that muscle memory kicks in and off you go...." Read more

You'll see new things and it will be an adventure. Ron is so knowledgable about the history of the Jacksonville area - whether it's our nature parks and greenways, architecture, local business, or mor..." Read more

"Touring with Art Bikes Jax is a great outing for locals and visitors. I've taken tours myself and always recommend it as an activity for out of town guests. Don't miss it out! AND you can download their app for self guided tours with navigation and an audio guide!"

"My wife and I had a wonderful time on the Architecture, Art, and History Tour, guided by the wonderful, friendly, and informative Ron. Being from Ireland, I didn't know much about the area, but Ron increased my knowledge ten-fold! We’ll definitely check out the other bike tours."

"Ron was great! He has a huge recall of history in the area! My only advice would be that you need to be comfortable riding on the street from time to time. Ron was good about checking for traffic and leading though. Definitely worth the money and we had a lot of fun!! Highly recommend."

"Such a great experience, even if you live in Jacksonville. I have been on three of these tours with Ron and I’m already ready for my next. Each time I learned something new about Jacksonville and the area he is super knowledgeable and friendly. Each ride has been completely different and a very unique experience. Highly recommend."

"Arguably the single most fun and creative activity you can do in Jacksonville. The e-bikes were a blast. Whether you're using the app or getting a guided tour, you can't go wrong. It's cultural, it's the great outdoors, it's history. Highly recommend. Everyone in our group gives it an A+ and we never fully agree on anything!"

"Ron is an unusually passionate and incredible storyteller. He gave us rich insights about the homes around us. I saw the oldest house in the neighborhood and the biggest house. Ron would point out interesting details about the homes around me I see everyday. Had I not gone, I’d never know. I’m going to go again because I’m sure there’s much more to see. Als..." Read more
