Touring & Biking
Advertisement
You can see the island by bicycle, moped, car, even horse. The companies listed here will set you up to explore!
Bikes: Bikes are sensible, fun and popular transportation on Block Island, where no destination is more than a 20-minute ride away.
Rent a bike to enjoy the island scenery at a gentle pace. The topography is varied: long flats and small hills, some surprisingly steep. In addition to the hills, ocean breezes will sometimes test your endurance. But, remember, it’s always downhill, or downwind, on the way back (if you start in the right direction!).
Don’t worry about getting lost. No matter which way you go, you will eventually end up back in town. (For an island map, turn to the center pages.) Mopeds: Rent your moped at Chapel Street and Weldon’s Way, behind the Harborside Inn (coupon on back page) or just east of the BI Ferry. Driver’s license required. Mopeds are prohibited at night and on dirt roads. Cars: An island ride can be rented at the locations listed below. Sometimes on summer days, all rental cars are taken; so phone ahead to reserve a vehicle.
