Key Biscayne Bicycle Tour

Manhattan can be a difficult place to navigate by bike. Traffic is chaotic, the air is stifling, and there are few opportunities for scenery. Key Biscayne is different! Unspoiled beaches, turquoise water, and peace-filled parks make it a paradise for cyclists, with less than two million people living in the area. What started as a vacation destination for wealthy socialites and celebrities has become a quiet paradise for those seeking the best of Florida. Key Biscayne is home to many of South Florida’s important historical sites and is only an hour away from Miami Beach.
