Traversing the Islands by bicycle is a fun way to explore and take in the scenery from a different perspective, while also reducing your ecological footprint. Each island offers different terrain and levels, so be sure to research the best routes for your skill set.

*Note: The roads in San Juan County do not have designated bike lanes, so please ride single file, always be aware of traffic, obey traffic laws, make yourself as visible as possible, wear protective gear, and be sure to share the road. Thank you!
