Certainly very effective way to explore the large area on 2 wheels compared to just walking. We were very lucky it did not rain, otherwise it would be a disaster and no fault of the bicycle.

Enjoyable outing, thanks to the staff attending to us and the weather certainly makes a difference. No stress to keep up with others, it’s up to you what you like to cover and how much you would like to spend in any particular area.

Spectacular views of Port Phillip Bay and Bass Straight. Very helpful and friendly staff at bike hire shop. Good advice on cycle routes to use. Bikes in good condition with locks supplied. Generally flat cycle path but some steeper hills towards the end of the peninsula.
