Island Hopping on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket
What says summer more than a day at the beach? Then why not join Bike Riders for some fun in the sun and surf on our Island Hopping on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket biking trip. Located a short ferry ride off the coast of Cape Cod, the islands are perfect for leisurely biking in the summer. The weather is never too warm and always accompanied by a salty ocean breeze. Our routes guide us along a myriad of designated bicycle paths and our days are filled with plenty of opportunities to stop and take a dip in the ocean, savor some delicious homemade ice cream and of course, fresh Atlantic lobster. A summer vacation with Bike Riders is a welcome retreat.

Nova Scotia's Evangeline Trail
Nova Scotia's coastline along the Nova Scotia's Evangeline Trail stretches from Digby to the small village of Wolfville and encompasses all that is required for an idyllic summertime vacation. Our bike routes weave along a peaceful landscape of rolling farmland and the Bay of Fundy, where the powerful surge of the tides is one of the wonders of the world. A whale watch aboard a zodiac, the artisan village of Bear River (also known as the Switzerland of Nova Scotia) and biking along century old dykes are but a few more highlights of Bike Riders Evangeline Trail trip in this spectacular corner of Nova Scotia.

Dolce Vita in the Veneto
Europe comes alive in the summer, especially in la bella Italia. Bike Riders' bicycle trip in the Veneto, the area just outside of Venice, is no exception. Our routes bring us skirting along the foothills of the Dolomites and into the villages of Asolo and Bassano del Grappa where we sample some of the fiery grappa that makes this region famous. Our menus feature the vibrant flavors of summertime specialties, risotto with peas, grilled radicchio and carpaccio di zucchine. Bike Riders' Dolce Vita in the Veneto trip is a European vacation to awaken the senses.
