Rent the Bicycle — Local services in San Juan

My wife and I took a guided tour with Rent a Bicycle with Nancy as leader, assisted by Edwin and Kimberly. The Tour was booked through Royal Caribbean Cruise line on the Allure of the Seas. We were met just outside the cruise port entrance at the designated time by Nancy who had the participants fill out paperwork while waiting for all members of the tour to show up. Once all accounted for she goes through a safety speech, then a short walk to pick up the bikes. During the walk she will stop along the way to point out places or things of interest. Once at the shop we were met by the Owner, Tony, who like Nancy and the others was friendly and informative about the tour. Edwin and Kimberly do a great job at issuing the bikes and getting you squared away and ready for the ride. There are bike lanes and a small portion when you are on a shared road, but I never felt uncomfortable. The group was kept together with Nancy leading the way and Edwin and Kimberly alternating on traffic control Drivers in the area are very accommodating. The riding is easy and only has three hills that any skill level rider can tackle. Nancy is super friendly, fun and filled with local knowledge, it wouldn't be a tour without her. I would definitely recommend the tour as it is a nice way to see the local area that you may never see on foot. Plan on the tour being two to three hours long. I would no problem doing this tour again, as it was...

This easily the best way to explore Old San Juan. There is a nice, long bike trail with bike lanes along the north coast heading east. You'll pass multiple beaches, a fort, a park, and a bridge to ride across with lots to see all along the way and beautiful photo opportunities. With the bike lanes, crosswalks, and sidewalks, we felt very safe the entire way. You can go down and back this coastal trail to circle the coast of Old San Juan counterclockwise until you get back to the bike shop, exploring the middle of the district along the way. Driving and parking in Old San Juan is a nightmare, so the bike is such an asset there. Nancy was so friendly and took much of her time to accommodate us and draw the best route on the map she provided. We rode solo, but her passion for this is apparent, so I know she would be an amazing tour guide. Even if you don't want a tour, call the day before at the very least and let them know you're coming (and do this for every place in PR). Staffing is a problem everywhere on the island, so things may seem closed when in reality there is just one person doing everything. The bikes are single speed, so...

We took the bike tour of San Juan city and beaches on a port day with RCL and absolutely loved it! Nancy was a great guide and full of joy and fun from the moment we met until the end of the tour! She is a genuine Porto Rico enthusiast and the information she shared at each stop was interesting. She and Nikki used great teamwork to manage traffic and insure everyone in the group was safe throughout the tour. The course had a lot of variety including some fabulous ocean photo ops. It was an easy ride with only a couple of short uphill spots that were just a little bit strenuous. We highly recommend this tour as a very fun way to see the city! And we still had some time to walk through parts of Old San Juan which was...
