Nantucket has over 24 miles of bicycle paths on mostly flat terrain, providing an ideal environment for biking. Bike paths are separated from the adjacent roadways and link many areas of the island. A ride to the charming village of Sconset, 8 miles east of town, is highly recommended. Other popular rides include the more hilly 12 mile round trip to Madaket, offering views of ponds and moors, or you can take the short ride to Surfside Beach.

Young’s Bicycle Shop, at 6 Broad St, offers well maintained bike rentals. They also sell new bikes, bike parts, clothes and accessories. Repair service available.
