Heritage Cycle Ride: Pedal Through History

The southern precinct of Mumbai is a charm. Colonial buildings, art deco structures, and open maidans, juxtaposed with modern architecture. The same beauty is amplified early in the morning when there is stillness and the city streets are devoid of the hustle-bustle. Now imagine yourself cycling through the heart of Mumbai at this golden hour(s), discovering centuries old-history and hearing lesser-known secrets that lay in stone. You’d be riding past Colaba Causeway, Ballard Estate Precinct, Fort Precinct, Flora Fountain, Oval Maidan, Horniman Circle Precinct, and VT Precinct, among others, and hearing the rich history this city has on offer.

Get ready to be amazed by the iconic Gateway of India, a grand structure that has seen many stories unfold. Ride through the streets, admiring the beauty of the former town hall, and even the famous Metro Cinema. These remarkable buildings will leave you in awe! We know that all that cycling can make you thirsty. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered with a quick break where you can enjoy a refreshing cup of chai or grab a snack to keep you energized. Trust us, you’ll need that extra boost to continue your exciting journey. 

As you’re marvelling at these masterpieces and hearing nuggets from our walk leader (or should we say, bike leader), you’ll find yourself on Marine Drive, the Art Deco haven of Mumbai. As a Mumbaikar or for that matter, anyone coming to this city, few places take your breath like the Queen’s Necklace. While you’re still getting over the beautiful, sun-kissed morning sky (we won’t blame you), we’ll regale you with stories of cricket, Bollywood and the city. No Footprints specializes in creating memorable experiences, and our Heritage Cycle Tour in South Mumbai is no exception. We combine the joy of cycling, the thrill of discovery, and the fascinating stories of Mumbai’s captivating past.

Losing some calories while listening to some fun history, culture, and pop-culture Mumbai stories: we say it’s a win-win. So sign up and pedal through centuries of history with us.
