Choosing the right bicycle for your wedding

Vintage? Tandem? There’s so many options! You can never go wrong with a classic vintage bicycle – timeless appeal, romantic, and fun! I personally have a slew of vintage Schwinn’s in my arsenal and I think they are an incredibly fun way to get around town. That being said, tandem bicycles symbolize unity and partnership – it makes them perfect for couples who wish to symbolize the beginning of the next stage of their journey. A tandem ride around Lake Tahoe becomes not only symbolic but also a fun experience, representing the shared adventures of your future life. For those seeking a touch of personalization, decorated bicycles offer a chance to let your creativity shine. Ride off into the sunset on a bicycle instead of a getaway vehicle! Utilize bicycles as your backdrop to your ceremony, or as the framing of your sweetheart table during your reception. Bicycle related details can be included in many capacities, or even as a photobooth!
