BICYCLES C BIKE RIDES ommuting on a bicycle is the preferred way to get around Mackinac Island, because there’s NO CARS! Bring your own bikes or rent them on the Island and ride the eight mile perimeter route along M-185. It’s the easi- est, most popular ride and a good way to aquaint yourself with the Island’s beauty. Rentals - Service - Sales - Accessories The 8 mile ride around the Island is mostly flat, very sce- nic, and takes about an hour without stopping. But what’s the rush? You’ll want to go slow, take photos and enjoy the beauty, so allow at least 2 hours. INSIDE TIP: For a more challenging ride, there are numer- ous trails in the Island’s interior offering a variety of rolling paved roads and bike paths, beautiful wooded trails and for advanced cyclists, steep rocky routes for expert riders on mountain bikes only. Mackinac offers biking for cyclists of all levels of abilities.
