DOES THE HANDLEBAR HAVE A MOTOR?
YES!
All 8 of our Original Amsterdam-built bikes are equipped with electric assist which makes pedaling a breeze! These systems were uniquely designed and built for our bikes to help you out as much OR as little as you’d like! Still prefer that pure pedal power we brought to the city 13 years ago? NO problem, just let your driver know! Prefer more help? You got it!
HOW OLD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO RIDE THE HANDLEBAR?
All riders must be 21 or older to ride The HandleBar – but we don’t care how tall you are at least!

Pro Tip: Create a playlist for your day, or queue up Spotify – All bikes were upgraded in 2024 with a killer sound system you can sync to.
Hang with us before and after the tour and we’ll provide the music FOR you!
WHERE DOES THE TOUR START / GO / END?
Start: The Hangar – Indy’s Hub for Experiences! 501 Madison Ave, 4 blocks south of the Circle
Go: Indy- your playground!

WHERE DO I SIGN THIS DAMN WAIVER?
Cool your jets, pal. You’ve got 2 options:
1) Ask the person who booked your tour – they received the link to your waiver. Each waiver link is specific to YOUR group so we can identify you when you arrive.
2) Just fill it out when you get on-site. It’ll only take a minute! (Highly encourage you to do #1 though because it makes check-in quick and we can maybe even get you on your tour quicker!)
DO YOU OFFER INDIVIDUAL SEAT TOURS?
Yes!
PUBLIC Economy Class are individual seat tours. The only way to make those tours private is to purchase all 16 seats. First Class tours are always a private group tour.
HOW MUCH DOES A TOUR COST?
Pricing is all dependent on how many people you have, what time of day you want to ride, what day of week and what tour type (Economy Class, First Class, Brunch, etc). Tour pricing is similar to an airline in that time of day and day of the week does change things slightly. For that reason, please check our availability calendar for specific pricing when you want to ride!
IS THERE A SERVICE YOU OFFER TO SPLIT UP A FIRST CLASS GROUP TOUR PAYMENT ?
YEP! If you’d like to split your payment with your friends and don’t want to use Venmo/Zelle/Paypay, etc, please just select the “Split The Cost” option at the screen where you choose your date/time and you will be provided the option of splitting payment with your crew.
The Detail: You need the full amount of the tour available on your credit card at the time of booking. Why? A temporary hold will be placed on your card for the full amount of the tour for up to 7 days, or until all your crew have paid the balance. If there is a balance remaining after 7 days, the remaining balance from unpaid crewmembers will be charged to your card on file.
When you checkout, there will be a link that you can share with your crew to allow them to pay on their own. You will be able to see who has paid and who hasnt with the link, which makes it easy to follow up with the stragglers! There is a 3% fee that goes to the booking proivder for this service.
SplitCart is a 3rd party payment partner so there are some things we are unable to see on our end. If you have issues please email support@splitcart.com or call (888)-625-4349 with the question
IS THERE A FREE 7 FOOT PIZZA AND GAMING BAY WITH FIRST CLASS TOURS ?
On a first come / first serve basis – yes – First Class Tours ONLY have that potential.
We are running a 7-foot pizza & 1hr gaming bay promotion right now when you book a first class tour where you have the potential to get it for FREE. It is NOT guaranteed. If you want to take advantage of that promotion you need to book the 7foot pizza/gaming bay online. If you do not book it, you will not get it.
To reserve one for FREE you’d go here: and use the code you were emailed when you booked your First Class Tour. We only have 2 to offer for every hour timeslot so there are first come / first serve and once gone, they are gone. Feel free to see what dates/times are available before you book your First Class tour, but keep in mind we publish them 2 weeks out at a time.
When (what time, on the day of your tour) should you book it ? Whenever you’d like, but make sure it’s not DURING your HandleBar tour.
Example: You have a HandleBar tour that starts at 6pm (The tour finishes at 8pm) You would want to book the gaming bay offer at or before 5pm or at or after 8pm. The reason why is the tour starts at 6, ends at 8pm and the gaming bay is a 1hr. experience. In this example you’d do the gaming bay from 5-6pm, then HandleBar tour 6-8pm. OR you could do the gaming bay from 8-9pm and the tour from 6-8pm.
Bad example 1: You have a HandleBar tour from 6-8pm and you book a gaming bay at 6pm. You can’t be 2 places at once so this will not work well. We’ve actually had people do this and not understand so we are trying to make it crystal clear to you guys :)
Bad example 2: I did nothing, I just showed up to my First Class HandleBar Tour and I expected a 7 foot pizza. That’s not how this works. Space is limited and you MUST book this offer in advance at the link above. If you do not, you will not get a 7 foot pizza and you will not get a gaming bay.
DOES THE HANDLEBAR HAVE A COOLER AND ICE?
We strongly suggest you leave your coolers at home. If you must bring one, The Hangar team will do our best to store in our drink daycare for you while you Hang, but you cannot have your own alcohol inside our venue, it’s the law!
CAN I BOOK TWO BIKES TO RIDE TOGETHER FOR LARGER GROUPS OF 17-32?
Yes! Watch this 1 minute video to see how!
Your first step would be to try and select two bikes insetad of one at checkout and see if there is availability. If you do NOT see availability, please reach out to us at support@hangarindy.com and we may be able to adjust schedules to accommodate.
AM I ALLOWED TO BRING MY OWN DRINIKS?
Yes, but absolutely no liquor or anything above 9% ABV. It means no bottles of liquor in any form. All drinks must be store-bought. It means you cannot bring a mug with liquor and juice or any homemade mixture.
Sorry but a few bad apples ruin it for the bunch. If you prefer liquor, we do offer cocktails to go at The Hangar (at 50% off) We also offer a large variety of beers, ciders, cocktails and frozen margaritas that we offer to-go on the bike! You can also purchase group cocktails for the bike- we take care of all of that during your pre-flight experience. Your options are here
Did you know you could also buy more rounds of shots for during the tour to save yourself money vs. spending them at the bars ? Just ask when you get here, but the menu above has them as well!
Specifically we allow you to bring any beer, wine, cider or prepackaged beverages under 9% ABV. We do not allow homemade drinks, Jello shots, or other homemade potions. We want you with us for a good time, and a long time. The potions tend to worsen, and shorten the time!
HOW CAN I MOVE MY TOUR?
If you booked a First Class Private Tour and want to add people – you don’t need to let us know as long as you don’t have more than 16 passengers including yourself. If you have more than 16 – you will need to contact us. We do not legally allow more than 16 on a bike.
IS THE HANGAR OPEN TO ALL AGES?
HOW CAN I ADD PEOPLE TO MY RESERVATION
Public Economy Class (Individual Seat tours) – just have them book online like you did. If your date/time is unavailable, the tour is full.
First Class Tours – No need to reach out. You have the whole bike for up to 16 passengers. If you have more than 16 you will need a second bike. Please reach out to us at support@hangarindy.com and we can help!
DO I HAVE TO PAY IN FULL WHEN WE BOOK A TOUR?
Balances are due 7 days prior to the tour. If balance is not paid, we’ll attempt to charge the card on file and if we cannot- we will notify you and the tour will be canceled. Don’t worry – you’ll get several reminders before this happens!
If you’re concerned about weather or ANYTHING else, you may want to purchase Trip Insurance at checkout which allows you to cancel for any reason up to 24 hours prior to your tour! This costs $50.
DO WE HAVE FOOD AND DRINKS?
You betcha! We’ve got a full bar and kitchen. We recommend trying one of our craft cocktails, all made with Indy-based ingredients, and if you’re Hangry, try our Spare Tires® – A pizza roll unlike anything you’ve had! Our menu is here: http://www.HangarIndy.com/menu
ARE THERE ANY EXPERIENCES AT THE HANGAR?
Oh boy, someone missed a lot getting here. Checkout the Experiences page for all of the great things The Hangar has to offer.
We have the best in industry Trackman golf simulators, but our 15 foot screens can also be used for some pretty sick Mario Kart competitions as well. We have video darts, cornhole, HangToss ring games and some other fun bar games to keep you guys busy!
This is our bread and butter. From Small groups of 10-40 who want a place to eat/drink/play, to full venue rentals for 400 – we can Hang! Please see our Corporate Events or Venue Rental pages to inquire. We even just pulled off a 1200 person event where we shut the street down in front of The Hangar so where there is a will, there is a way! (Re-cap video of the 1200 person event here)
WHAT KIND OF FOOD DO YOU HAVE?
We do a few things and do them well. Pizza, Wraps, Wings, Tenders, Nachos, and shareables. To view our full menu click here or click here.
On HandleBar Tours- If weather is bad enough (thunderstorms imminent), we will notify you at least 2 hours prior to the tour to offer a rain check. You may decline as long as the weather is safe enough to ride. Never assume your ride is canceled. 99% of the time, we can work around the weather by delaying the start, adjusting when we stop at a bar, extending the tour, etc. If you are concerned about the weather ruining your day – we want you to know that even when rain happens – our guests end up having a blast. Our goal is to make you feel like a kid again on our experiences, playing in the rain kinda fits the bill!
If you book The Hangar for a Corporate outing or Venue Rental, We do offer HandleBar shuttle services to get you from the Convention Center, your office, or Hotel to The Hangar! Turn the pain point of arranging transportation into an EXPERIENCE with us! We’ll show up with a welcome drink to your front door and treat you! Talk about a way to WOW your team ;)
DO YOU OFFER ON-SITE PARKING?
https://hangarindy.com/parking/ has the info you’ll need.
And send that out to everyone in your crew so you’re not fielding last minute questions :)
OUR RECOMMENDATION: UBER! It’s safer, more convenient and often cheaper!
