Milford Announces Elm City Party Bike Partnership

From The City of Milford: Mayor Blake is pleased to announce a new partnership with the Elm City Party Bike, New England’s first and foremost pedaled sightseeing bike. Milford is home to the longest shoreline in the state, a happening downtown, festivals and burgeoning neighborhoods that make for a fantastic coastal New England destination. The town’s amenities run the gamut from paddle boarding to world-class theater, from quaint shops to high-end dining. Now both residents and tourists alike can take it all in from the unique vantage point of a multi-person bike – and see what makes Milford a great place to both live and visit.

“It’s a natural fit to offer this amenity in one of the most bike-able and walkable cities in the State. The party bike will partner with a number of neighborhoods and organizations to offer an unmatched experience of our many assets. We will continue to be a destination city and look forward to this partnership,” said Mayor Blake.
The Elm City Party Bike is a whole new way to experience Milford. It offers groups of 8-15 the ability to visit restaurants while viewing architecture, historical sites, the coast and more. Each seat on the party bike has a set of pedals, and while a trained Elm City driver steers the bike, while it’s powered by the riders themselves.
