WHY Should I Ride a Bike? Part 2
Live Longer & Be Happier! “When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking,” wrote Sherlock Holmes author Arthur Conan Doyle in Scientific American...
Pacific Islander Festival!
Join Us on Sept. 23 or 24. On our Mission Bay Bike Tour we will get to view or even visit this annual celebration. It's just across the bay from our 'normal' Bike Tour route.

Sprinkles – Really?
It almost rained in San Diego in August! We've never been rained on any of our tours - until this one. Well, maybe a bit of an exaggeration as we felt DROPS of rain for the 1st 10 minutes! Then sun, sun and more sun - as usual...

2 Moms Vacationing
These 2 moms enjoyed a San Diego vacation on our Mission Bay Bike Tour. South Shores Park is a little used beach at the south end of Mission Bay in San Diego. This small park has picnic tables, a covered picnic spot, a beach with fire rings, and a view toward Sea World next door. There is a large boat launch next to the park and that is why most people visit this undeveloped part of Mission Bay...

Coronado Kiteboarding
Don't be surprised if the next time you go to Coronado's beach you see a person zipping through the water (and flying into the air) while being pulled by a giant kite. The sport is called kiteboarding and it is the perfect mix of surfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding and paragliding. Kiteboarders are able to ride continuously rather than sitting and waiting for waves like surfers...
Rain Brings Flowers!
Sunny Days & Flowers are Back! San Diego has had more rain than usual this year too. Although it is much needed we are so happy sunny days with flowers have returned! See for yourself on our Mission Bay Bike Tour!...
Sunken Ship – Do I Dare?
‘Sin Ship’ was destroyed by a storm in 1936. The 2016 El Niño storms cleaned up the shore and the SS Monte Carlo is more visible than ever. Excited tourists and locals have seen walking, climbing and even exploring the wreckage looking for silver coins! In the Prohibition days, the ship was anchored in international waters to avoid U.S. laws. People searching for gambling, prostitution or bootleg whiskey would take smaller boats out to the ‘sin ship’ for a night of revelry...
