About this tour

See Santa Barbara at your own pace with a 1- or 2-day bike rental. Choose an electric, mountain, or hybrid bike to match the kind of ride you have in mind, then set out from the bike shop at 736 Carpinteria Street.

An electric bike makes it easy to cover more ground around town without pedaling. Prefer a more active outing? Take a mountain bike along city streets or toward the Santa Ynez Mountains. A hybrid combines the speed of a road bike with the stability of a city bike, and a range of models suits beginners and experienced riders alike. Your rental includes a helmet and water bottle.

A bike offers a flexible way to explore Santa Barbara’s streets and surrounding hills while fitting in a workout. Choose your bike and rental length, then make the most of your time in Santa Barbara on two wheels.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.99 from 141 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Santa Barbara
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.2.
