Forget the horse-drawn carriages : Charleston is best viewed by bicycle . Park at the Visitors ’ Center on Meeting St . and get ready to cross the largest cable-stay bridge in the U . S . From the visitor ’ s center , head over to King St . and pedal north 1 mile to Huger St . Turn left , then turn right on Ashley Ave . Circumnavigate Hampton Park before turning into the Citadel , Charleston ’ s military college . Exit the school on Hagood Ave ., then right onto Fishburne St . Fishburne becomes Lockwood Ave ., which will lead you around the Charleston peninsula along the Battery . From there , continue along East Bay St . As you head north , a bike lane appears on your right , which then leads up the Ravenel Bridge . Cruise back down East Bay and take a right on Chapel St . to finish back at the Visitors ’ Center .
