We love showing off Bozeman and expect you’ll love seeing it through the eyes of a local. We start downtown, making stops along the way to tell you all about Bozeman. When the tour is over we expect you’ll know your way around town, have a feel for the local vibes plus basic Bozeman history, and have some great ideas for what to do next during the rest of your visit.
All tours originate and end at Owenhouse Cycling, our bike-rental partner. Daily bike rentals are available directly from Owenhouse Cycling.

Matthew Kraska
Owner & Guide
Matthew Kraska moved to Bozeman from Minnesota in 1987. When asked where he’s from, most of the time he says Montana, unless they are picking hockey teams - then, he’s sure to mention Minnesota (hopefully before they see him skate). His career has been varied, from a wildlife bird biologist in Yellowstone to owning a sporting goods store and guiding bike tours in Savannah, Georgia. When friends come to visit he loves setting them up with an itinerary for a memorable visit to Bozeman and Montana. These bike tours are his local perspective on Bozeman and Montana.

Jesse Atkins
Guide
Jesse, a local by birth, is a professional entertainer, playing the guitar in multiple bands, namely the band Dead Sky. He's guided all over the world, chased trophy fish with a fly rod, run whitewater rivers, and played guitar around more than a few campfires. Don’t be fooled by his affable, easy going nature; Jesse is a encyclopedia when it comes to what’s happening in Bozeman and where to find it. Be sure to ask him where and when he’s performing next — you might catch him at one of the local music venues during your visit.
