Yosemite runs a 2.5 hour Bike to Hike tour for $35/person (not including the bike)
My wife and I were thinking about doing this
I wasn't able to find any reviews and wondering if anybody has any information

I have not heard of such a tour.
When you said "Yosemite" runs a 2.5 hour Bike to Hike tour, who is running it? The Yosemite National Park? Or some private companies running it inside Yosemite Valley?

Those guided “bike hikes” and other guided hikes, are offered through the Yosemite Mountaineering School, along with rock climbing lessons and guided climbs. It is not through an outside tour company.

Yup, but wondering if anybody has any experience with this? What fitness level/pace does this go at? We are a fit couple so if activity is geared more towards families with young kids, this might not be for us.
Any overall thoughts with experience?
I haven't been able to find any reviews or mentions from anyone that has done this as part of their trip reports
I would think that since it is family-oriented, it could be pretty slow.
Why not rent bikes and make your own adventure? Or if it is the guided experience you want, with some explanation of geology, history, etc. along with a good hike, how about their Nevada Falls hike?
