Best Bike Rides in Fort Lauderdale

All flat, all doable on a beach cruiser, all tested by us. These are the routes we point people at when they ask, and the reason a lot of our reviews mention getting directions along with the bike.

The A1A Beach Cruise

About 6 miles / easy

Pick up the beach path near Las Olas Boulevard and ride north along A1A with the ocean on your right the whole way. Flat, breezy and mostly separated from traffic. Turn around at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, or keep going if the legs feel good. Best in the morning before the sun gets high.

The Riverwalk Loop

About 3 miles / very easy

Start downtown and follow the New River through Riverwalk Park. Shaded, traffic-free and it passes most of the good downtown restaurants. The right choice with kids, or for a short ride before dinner. This one starts a couple of blocks from where we are based.

Two More Worth the Trip

Las Olas to the Sand

About 2 miles each way / easy

Ride east down Las Olas Boulevard past the shops and restaurants, over the intracoastal, and you are at the beach. Detour through the Isles on the way back for quiet streets and some serious houses to look at.

The Hollywood Broadwalk

About 5 miles round trip / easy

Two and a half miles of paved path right alongside the sand, with food and drink the whole way. Busy in the middle of the day, so go early or near sunset. Worth heading south for if you have the bike for a few days.

Before You Set Off

  • Ride early or late. Midday sun in South Florida is no joke.
  • Take more water than you think you need.
  • Lock through the frame and a wheel whenever you stop. The lock comes with the bike.
  • Lights are included and worth switching on at dusk.

Ask Us Where to Go

We have been renting bikes in Fort Lauderdale since 2011 and we ride these routes ourselves. When we drop your bike off, ask where to eat, where the quiet stretches are, and what to skip. It costs nothing and it is usually the bit people remember.
