A Side of Hawaii You Can’t Find by Rental Car?

How do you explore Hawaii? A rental car is certainly convenient. You can drive from Waikiki to the North Shore in just half a day. But on a bicycle, the very same roads make you feel as though you’re discovering a completely different island. Scenery that flashes by in seconds from a car lingers with you at the pace of pedaling. You notice the scent of the trade winds, the sound of the waves, and the subtle rhythm of the island in a way that’s impossible behind the wheel.

Brooklyn’s popular cycling route, Prospect Park

A dedicated bike lane is set between the pedestrian walkway and the roadway for cars. Once you’ve crossed the Brooklyn Bridge, it’s about a 20-minute ride to the entrance of Prospect Park at G […]
