“It’s my hobby jobby,” said Mike Suding, owner of American Riviera Bike Tours.
Located in the heart of the Funk Zone is Mike’s bike trailer, full of wheels awaiting rental, including cruisers, hybrids, and e-bikes. But even greater than this plethora of available rentals is the spirit of Suding himself, the one-man show behind American Riviera.
After retiring in 2021, Suding turned to creating a bike tour business. Since opening about a year ago, Suding has led 84 tours and guided 193 guests. He maintains that his favorite part of the job is meeting people from all different walks of life.
