By virtue of its flat terrain, broad avenues, and long, straight stretches of highway, Grand Bahama is perfect for bicycling. In November, the island hosts the annual Conchman Triathlon, comprising a 1K swim, 25K bike ride, and a 5K run. When biking, wear sunblock, carry a bottle of water, and look left. Inexpensive bicycle rentals (about $20 a day plus deposit) are available from some resorts, and the Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach allows guests free use of bicycles.
