By Bike in Bahamas

By Bike

Biking in the Bahamas is fairly easy due to the flat island terrain. Some hotels offer bikes as amenities to their guests, or rent them out. So do general stores. In the Out Islands and Turks and Caicos, bikes are often the most logical way to get around on land and match the laid-back pace of life.

Bikes in Flight

Most airlines accommodate bikes as luggage, provided they are dismantled and boxed; check with individual airlines about packing requirements. Some airlines sell bike boxes, which are often free at bike shops, for about $20 (bike bags can be considerably more expensive). International travelers often can substitute a bike for a piece of checked luggage at no charge; otherwise, the cost is about $100. Most U.S. and Canadian airlines charge $40-$80 each way.
