Vegas for Casual Biking

We took our friends who had never been to Minneapolis and gave them the biking experience. Follow in our footsteps with a free bike map and itinerary.

Photo highlights of Bikabout founders' Cape Cod weekend getaway for National Bike Travel Weekend. 

Picture a person riding a bike in America and what comes to mind? Spandex, sweat, middle-aged men, contorted faces, epic hills, long distances, chain grease and carbon fiber are usually part of the stereotype. Sounds awesome! Just kidding....

It’s no wonder the Amgen Tour of California has become the nation’s most prestigious and watched annual cycling competition. Undoubtedly, watching the cyclists ride through California will make many long to visit. So, which of the 12 bike-friendly destinations should you make your pit spot? If wine tasting is your thing you’ll have to decide who has the better wine—Santa Barbara, Lodi or Santa Rosa?

Washington kicked off spring this week and Bikabout is excited to help them inspire Cherry Blossom gazing by bike. And because the city does a remarkable job catering to bike tourists, we get to cut our largest check to local advocacy organization, WABA!

11 experiences in Bermuda that are either off-the-beaten-path or popular with tourists, but just too good not to share.

We have a saying that "bikes unlock cities" and this couldn't be more true with sunsets. On two wheels, sunsets seem more serendipitous, accessible, private and in places that you couldn't reach by a car, all of which makes you feel like a VIP. Here are our favorite 15 spots.

And because I used a bike to explore the city, I covered a lot of ground and saw things I would have never stumbled upon if I was on foot or driving. Here is what I love about San Diego...

Call it a bucket list or travel dream, these are the cities and trails that have made our 2016 list.

Bundle Up and Ride Year 'Round on These Bike Shares

Many cities who operate bike sharing programs pack up their kiosks for the winter months, rather than operate through potential snow and ice. Some cities, however, have decided to keep their bike share systems open and running during the winter months, which means that visitors coming in for the holidays have an easy option for getting around town.

Santa Rampage, Xmas Trees on Bikes, Shopping and more!

The holidays are a great time for festivities on two wheels, it turns out. We know of plenty here in our back yard in New England, but our friends across North America have turned us on to plenty of other bike-themed happenings in their cities, too. We've collected many of them below for you, and we hope that your 2015 holiday season is a happy, healthy, and bikey one.

Two Boston hotels, Hotel Marlowe and Nine Zero Hotel, now have cultural bike maps with local eats, drinks and sights. Choose from 2, 6 or 15 miles filled with historic landmarks, architecture, food, beer, coffee and local Bostonians' favorites.

Before I get started, do you know what I'm talking about? When you look at rooms to rent on AirBnB, you've got a pretty exhaustive set of amenities you can filter by. You can choose to see only 1-bedroom places, with a pool, who provide shampoo...but the possibility of the host offering a bike (or bikes) for guests is strangely not one of them.

Coming off a somewhat disappointing Milwaukee visit a few months back, in which we saw virtually no infrastructure progress made since we last visited in 2010, we cannot help but think that Atlanta has now stolen Milwaukee's baseball team and its bicycle mojo. Atlanta is on fire. And they're excited to show you what's changed.

Maybe your flight is eeeeearly, before the T is running. Maybe you don't like cabs. Maybe you're planning to bring your folding bike with you on your trip. Maybe you're just looking to kick off your vacation with a sense of accomplishment. Maybe you're looking to arrive for your flight alert and ready. Maybe you just like the sound of it... biking to Logan Airport. Well my friend, you're in luck, because it's easier than you probably imagined. Let's get into it.

Throughout our travels, I’ve had the opportunity to bring my own bike (folding and full sized), I've rented bikes once I arrived, and I've used bike shares. For most people traveling somewhere far away, the decision usually boils down to one of the last two: renting a bike there, or using that city's bike share program. This week we will offer our thoughts on the goods and the bads of both scenarios, and why making the decision isn’t really as simple as it sounds.

Milwaukee has a strong bike culture and decent-to-amazing infrastructure. And it has those unfailingly nice mid-western people. And it has GOOD beer. Unfortunately, Milwaukee also has a governor who has cut spending on every kind of transportation except highways...

Bikabout donates 25% of its revenue each year to support local non-profits that advocate for better biking. And while that may sound altruistic, we want to be explicit about the fact that our motives are entirely selfish. We're trying to remake North America the way we'd rather it be. Let us explain.
