About the Couve Cycle

Founded by service and entertainment power couple Michael and Maureen Palensky in 2016, Couve Cycle became an instant staple to the downtown Vancouver community. After hundreds of tours jam packed with good times, great vibes, and swell memories, the Global Pandemic brought the Couve Cycle party to an abrupt halt. After Three Long Years we once again have a semblance of normalcy in our lives…

You know what that means...

It is time for the Couve Cycle to Return!

Although Couve Cycle is coming back, Founder and Tour Guide Extraordinaire, Michael Palensky, has decided to dedicate more of his time to his growing family.

 

The torch of the Couve Cycle Legacy has found AJ Maynes, another Vancouverite, eager to continue the adventure. AJ earned a degree in Business Administration with a focus on Marketing from WSU while working as a regional manager for Dutch Bros Coffee. He has been working with Michael to preserve the essence of Couve Cycle, restoring it to its true magnificence, and reuniting it with the people of Vancouver.

What is it? 

Couve Cycle is a 14 person electronically assisted party bike designed to deliver the absolute best way to explore downtown Vancouver. Squad up with 14 of your favorite friends, family members, coworkers, or strangers for a day of good times and memories. Perfect for any occasion: Birthdays, Bachelor/ Bachelorette Parties, Team building, Pub Tours, Wine tours, Reunions, Couve Cycle has you covered!  

 

Keep it local!

During its glory days, Couve Cycle complemented and enhanced the Vancouver experience, giving hundreds a unique opportunity to connect with the city. Now, in this time of growth and excitement, we are passionate about bringing the Couve Cycle back to Vancouver. 

We need your help to get the Couve Cycle back up and rolling the streets of Downtown Vancouver. Help keep this Vancouver staple local! Every donation, big or small, will contribute to the economy and growth of downtown Vancouver.

What We Need & What You Get

We're looking for 10-50k to get this business fully rolling. 50k would completely cover the downpayment of the bike, company, start up costs, as well as put a dent in recurring payments like: rent, insurance, waivers, etc. 

Once we hit the 15K mark, we will offer Early Bird Spring Tours. Until then, we are accepting reservations for Summer 2023 tours and on. The faster we raise our funds, the more momentum we can have rolling into Spring. Help us meet our goal, Book your 2023 tour today! 

Enjoy $50 off a private tour for booking early! 

 

Even if we don't reach our goal, your contribution will make a huge impact! Every dollar makes a difference! The more funds we receive, the more fantastic COUVE CYCLE will be!!

What exactly will your money be used for?

Cost of the Bike

Storage container for housing bike

Rental space

Bike maintenance and parts

Inclement weather cover

Insurance- YOWZA

Marketing & Growth

Again, any kind of donation or "shout out" helps.  Email or call for opportunities to book the bike before the online calendar goes live.  This will make sure you can lock in that special day before anybody else gets a chance! We appreciate every like, follow, share, and mention on social media! Spread the word!

Risks & Challenges

As with any small business, there is risk. We're taking on a big risk purchasing this bike, however we are confident that this business will be a success. There will be a learning curve taking over the mantle of the Couve Cycle. With guidance from the previous owner and all the lessons he learned building Couve Cycle, we are excited to get up to full speed as quickly as possible. 

Other Ways You Can Help

SPREAD THE WORD!!!  MAKE SOME NOISE!!!  We understand that a lot of people can't donate at this time, or might be skeptical of this new business idea, but that shouldn't stop you from spreading the news.  We love all of the support we have received already on Social Media.  Keep up the good work! Please use the Indiegogo share tools also.  Anything helps!

Thank you so much!
