Pedal Power Galway is the brainchild of local man Paul Murray. Pedal Power Galway was one of the winners at GMIT’s Startup Weekend in October 2015 (a Dragon’s Den type competition).
Five months after being one of the winners, Paul’s vision of group Pedi bus cycling tours of Galway became a reality. PPG’s inaugural tour began on March 14, 2016, at the Bank of Ireland on Mainsguard St. The bikes have attracted both print and radio attention.
The bikes have been a major part of all the Saint Patrick’s Day parades in Galway City ever since! The bikes have also been involved in the Gay Pride parade on several occasions.
After a decade on the streets, Paul’s fun, distinctive, and iconic bicycles have become a familiar sight on Galway city’s streets every weekend.
The bikes are commonly known as: Beer Bike Galway, Pedi bus Galway, Pedal Pub crawl, Party Bike Galway
Hen party bike, stag party bike
Our Tours are referred to as: Pub crawl tours, Bike tour, Pedal Pub and the Birthday Bike.
These bikes have become an integral part of the Galway cultural scene. Pedal Power Galway has four bikes now; we can cater for tours, small and large, from four to forty-four people.
Our bikes are so big they need names: ‘Big Bertha,’ ‘The Pink Princess,’ ‘The Ladybug Bike,’ and ‘The Bumblebee Bike. These bikes are available for tourists, corporate team-building exercises, birthdays, retirements, stag, and hen parties.
They are available for fundraising activities or any other special occasion. We can create a tour around your specific needs. Each bike has its own Bluetooth speakers so that passengers can choose their own music.
Milestones so far:
May 2017 – Adding our second bike to the fleet.
August 2019 – Adding ‘The Pink Princess’ to our fleet.
March 2021 – Five years in business.
January 2025 – Adding a fourth bike, ‘The Bumblebee Bike’, to the fleet.
Fun Fact about us, our fifteen-seater bike has four wheels, fifteen heads, thirty legs, and has a top speed of 27km.
Fun Fact about us, our seven-seater bike has four wheels, seven heads, fourteen legs, and has a top speed of 32km.
We had so much fun doing pedal power around Galway city for my friends’ hen party. Definitely recommend and would definitely book it again.

Paul and Wesley was the best hosts and made the experience even more enjoyable! From the moment we jumped out on the bikes he was full of energy and good spirits, the bikes were amazing and so much fun. They showed us some extra places along the cycle which I think made it more perfect because of their energy!

My daughter booked Pedal Power Galway for my hen party. The best fun was had by all, Paul our guide was really good craic and made our day. Would highly recommend this activity for a group event. A day I won’t forget anytime soon.

We had a superb time on pedal power. It was very easy to organise through Paul. It was a very fun experience to pedal your heart out with music blaring to a great reception from locals. The pubs were excellent with live music in many. I can definitely recommend it for stag groups.

I was surprised by my friends with this activity for my hen party a few months ago, and I can’t recommend it enough!! Brilliant craic and a workout with cocktails, what more could you want?!
March 2025
We did this as part of a hen weekend. It was so much fun and the laughing never stopped. It’s suitable for everyone and there are seats that you don’t pedal in for those that aren’t able but they can still join in the fun. Would highly recommend.
