Cycling
The best places for cycling are Athens, Juneau, Ketchikan, Rhodes and Roatan. Athens has guided electric bike tours of the historic center and longer rides out to the Temple of Poseidon. Juneau has rides out to Mendenhall Glacier and the Mendenhall River Trail, and Ketchikan has Tongass National Forest routes from the shore to the mountain tops. Rhodes offers guided e-bike tours of its medieval Old Town, and Roatan has cycling from West End and a ride south-west from Punta Gorda to Boom Creek Village.
Where it's best
Athens has guided electric bike tours of the historic center on mostly car-free routes, and longer rides of 40 or 70 km out to the Temple of Poseidon.
Bikes can be ridden out to Mendenhall Glacier, a practical way to cover the miles from town. The Mendenhall River Trail (Kaxdigoowu Heen Dei) is the best-known spot for riding.
Ketchikan's riding is in Tongass National Forest, with rides from the shore to the mountain tops. Routes run from easy to strenuous on paved roads, dirt roads and boardwalks.
In Rhodes, a guided e-bike tour takes riders around the medieval Old Town, covering its streets without walking every block.
Cycling from West End shows the village and the island roads, and scooters are a common way to cover more ground. From Punta Gorda, ride south-west to Boom Creek Village and cool off in the Moho River.
