Really enjoyed the wings. Riding the E-bikes was my first time and loved. It was just the two of us and our guide was very informative and easy going.

Do it

Dan did a great job with the tour! He gave us history of the city and information about the buffalo wing! It was fun experience while in town. The e bike was a blast

Ride or Wings?

Tammy_H, Jul 2025

Make sure you’re comfortable riding an e-bike in traffic, with or without bike lanes, ready to eat some yummy wings, and enjoy the stories behind the “rise” of chicken wings. Our guide was very informative on the subject and ensured our comfort level was met.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thanks, Tammy! Appreciate the review and glad you could join us

Interesting educational and delicious

We found this amazing gem of an experience. Mark from Buffalo Bike Tours took us on a culinary adventure of Buffalo’s wing establishments. We also got an excellent historical tour, and a few musical interludes. This adventure gave me a taste for food bike tours…..
