All about group activities in Lyon
What is a cycling incentive in Lyon?
A bike incentive in Lyon is a group activity organized on electric bikes in the city or its surrounding region, as part of a corporate seminar, team building event, or professional gathering. The electric bike is the ideal format for an incentive in Lyon because it removes physical constraints—everyone pedals at the same level, without effort or athletic competition—and frees up energy for discovery, conversation, and group enjoyment. Lyon, with its developed bike paths, riverbanks, Tête d'Or Park, and bike-accessible neighborhoods, is one of the best-suited cities in France for this type of activity. Lyon Original Tours offers several bike incentive packages—cultural guided tours, unusual team treasure hunts, and getaways in the Beaujolais region—tailored to all group sizes and schedules.
How many people can be accommodated for a cycling incentive in Lyon?
Our bike incentives in Lyon welcome groups of all sizes. The standard format is a maximum of 10 people per guide to ensure the safety of all participants in urban traffic and the quality of interaction with the guide. For larger groups, we deploy multiple guides simultaneously: one guide for 10 participants, two guides for 20, and so on up to 80 people for the combined rally. For very large groups, we recommend the combined rally format, which splits the headcount into two subgroups active simultaneously—one part on e-bikes, the other on foot in Old Lyon—before swapping the groups halfway through.
Do you need to know how to ride a bike to take part in a cycling incentive event in Lyon?
Cycling proficiency is required — however, no special physical fitness is needed. The electric assistance of our bikes completely eliminates effort: climbs, distances, pace — everything is neutralized by the motor. Participants must be at least 1.50 meters tall. Our least sporty participants systematically finish the incentive with a smile. For groups with participants who cannot ride a bike, we offer suitable alternatives — contact us to discuss this.
Can the electric bikes be delivered directly to the seminar venue?
Yes — this is one of our most popular options for corporate retreats in Lyon. We deliver our fleet of electric bikes directly to the address of your hotel, seminar room, or event venue. Your participants can set off directly from where they are staying without having to travel to a fixed departure point — a significant logistical time-saver, especially within the framework of a busy seminar program. Just specify your address and the number of participants in your quote request — we will include the delivery in our proposal.
