Bicycling in Bahamas

Bicycling

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.

For a biking tour that takes you from beach to shopping contact Kayak Nature Tours (Queen's Cove. 866/440-4542 or 242/373-2485. www.gbntours.com). The five-hour tour includes beachside lunch for $79 per person.
