Franklin, TN – We’re on the move again—this time on two wheels. We’re launching Franklin Bike Tours & Rentals on April 1, offering small, guide-led bicycle groups and short rentals.
This is a another great opportunity for those interested in exploring the area’s history and beauty. This expands the geographical area we can cover in a reasonable time.
