Hire Rock the Bike to run a smoothie booth at your event and we’ll supply experienced crew members who can cover all aspects of bike blending. We’ll bring the bike, prepare the smoothies, coach the activity, and ensure higher volumes at your event. We’re fun-loving and outgoing event people. We’ll make sure the smoothies are sweet and tangy, and that everyone gets a chance to pedal.

Crew Fees. The base fee is $900/day* for one crew member, and additional crew members are $600/ day* for each additional crew member. Day rates assume the crew is on site for no more than 8 hours, including load-in, set up, break down and strike. For events that have us on-site longer than 8 hours crew fees are $1,300 for the first crew member , and $850 for each additional. Bike blenders are a flat rate of $300 / day.

Ingredients and Cups. Crew fees do not include the cost of ingredients or serving cups. Rock the Bike will work with you to create a menu and shop for necessary ingredients to serve your crowd size. Rock the Bike charges $1/smoothie serving and $0.10/smoothie cup. Your expected crowd size will help us determine ingredient and cup costs. We typically blend our own recipes, but will gladly make a preferred recipe or tailor the beverage to your particular event. Our cups are 9 oz compostable cups. You can provide ingredients and/or serving cups to reduce costs.

Health Permits. If you event requires a health permit or liability insurance we can also handle that. It is the client’s responsibility to pay for health permit fees, either directly to the county or via Rock the Bike. To have Rock the Bike file the permit for your event and bring necessary gear to pass health inspection is $350 per event.

Transportation. We charge a transportation fee for all gigs in the Bay Area. Transportation cost varies by location. The least amount we charge is $150 for Oakland/Berkeley/SF.  We aim to bike to all of our events. Unfortunately, some locations are too remote for this.

Space Requirements. One Fender Blender Pro will need a 10′ x 10′ space. This space will fit the bike, 1 crew, 1 table, and some extra space for spectators. Additional bikes and/or crew will need more space, but not double the amount. Reach out if you need help estimating how much space your activities will need.

Our team can staff all of our activities, not just our bike blenders! Use the below form to submit a quote request for your event.

Here’s what some of our clients have to say about Rock the Bike crewing their events:

The smoothie bike was a huge hit and a lot of employees said that they loved you as the facilitator, that you were fun and friendly. Thanks for making our event successful!

    Malted Banana Chip Vegan Ice Cream Recipe from Sweetcycle

    Jul 29, 2016Posted by in Ice Cream Bike, Icycleta Ice Cream Bike Attachment for Fender Blender Pros, Uncategorized | Comments Off on Malted Banana Chip Vegan Ice Cream Recipe from Sweetcycle

    Kate Zuckerman — pastry chef, savory chef, cooking instructor, recipe tester, cookbook author, avid commuter/cargo cyclist and mother of three kids – acquired the ice cream/blender bike from her cousin Paul, inventor, musician, bike enthusiast and founder of Rock the Bike, and has been churning out sweet treats in Brooklyn with SweetCycle ever since!

    Check out her recipe for Malted Banana Chip Vegan Ice Cream:

    Ingredients:
    3 cups cashew milk
    2 cans coconut milk (13.6 fl. ounce cans)
    1 ¼ cups maple syrup
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/3 cup barley malt syrup
    6 large ripe bananas
    ½ teaspoon cinnamon

    Method:

    1. For the cashew milk, soak 1 ¼ cups raw cashews in 3 cups of water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Discard the soaking liquid and rinse the cashews. Blend 2 cups of water with the soaked cashews. Blend until the mixture is totally smooth.

    2. Add the coconut milk, barley malt, salt, vanilla extract, bananas and ½ t. cinnamon.

    3. Pedal blend all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth.

    4. Pedal churn with the Icycleta until thick and creamy.

    Icycleta Ice Cream Bike Attachment for Fender Blender Pros

    Jul 28, 2016Posted by in Featured Products, Products | Comments Off on Icycleta Ice Cream Bike Attachment for Fender Blender Pros

    Why stop at smoothies when you can broaden the offerings of your Fender Blender Pro to include ice cream?

    Icycleta Blue Blendtec

     This easy accessory converts your Fender Blender Pro to an Ice Cream Bike. A simple mechanism attaches to the front of your FB Pro – requiring no tools – where it sits low enough that kids can look through the clear canister lid to see the deliciousness take shape, and interact with the pedaler at the same time. We surveyed all the canisters out there to find the sturdiest one in Amish country, where they build them of fiberglass and steel to last many summers. The Icycleta relies on the same egalitarian principles that run our Ice Cream Bike – because the muscle used to churn ice cream on a bike is the gluteus maximus, the strongest muscle in the body, biking is the most ergonomic way to make ice cream, and even children as young as 7 can savor their significant contribution to dessert.

    Features:

    The Icycleta goes on and off your FB Pro without tools.

    — Starting with a simple ice cream base (see our recipes), makes a gallon and a half of ice cream in 20 minutes of relaxed pedaling.

    — The canister, with its clear lid, sits low on the front so kids can look inside. Canisters are among the sturdiest out there – steel, with a fiberglass churn and container, built to last in Amish country.

    — The mechanism is a great intro to STEM, involving lots of physics you can demonstrate while it’s in use. People can eat ice cream, pedal, learn and teach physics, all in one place.

    — Normal pedaling moves the churn at the perfect speed for making gourmet ice cream, according to pastry chef Kate Zuckerman. Pedaling is smooth, easy, and pleasant. Gelato consistency comes together as you pedal – resistance is not huge, so just put a bigger kid on at the end. Look into the canister to see whether it’s done.

    — Great for company picnics, summer camps, birthday parties, ice cream parlors, farmers’ markets, Edible Schoolyard and farm events. One ice cream company in NY has four for party rentals – and keeps them constantly rented.

    Prices:

    To Purchase: $1,250  (FB Pro frame not included).
    Additional Canister: +$280
