Urban AdvenTours is a locally owned small business located in Boston’s North End, offering bicycle tours and rentals as well as a full-service sales and repair shop.
Bike Mechanics at Urban AdvenTours work in a fast-paced environment on a wide range of projects and tasks, including customer repair bikes, maintaining our extensive rental fleet, and unboxing, building, boxing and shipping bikes for charity and other bicycling events.
