Check with Miguel at Bonaire Wellness Connexions; they do offer various mountain biking tours which are rated to fitness levels, so you can pick one that's appropriate to you. See http://www.bonaireinsider.com/index.php/bonaireinsider/bonaire_wellness_connexions_announces_upcoming_events/ for some upcoming dates.

be sure you take a spare tube, the cactus will go thru a Teva sandal...walking & pushing sucks!

and a spare tube does you no good at all without a pump. sometimes you can get the tire off the rim without a tool but often you can't so a tire tool is a handy thing to have too. i'm not sure if those are automatically included with a rental.

Sorry, I meant, be ready for a flat and have whatever it takes to fix it

stuff to fix it is especially important if you're in the park. most other places you can find someone driving by with a pickup to get you back to where you started. you could be in for a long walk/push in the park...like ron says, that would suck. does anyone know if they supply a pump with a rental bike?

Bring a ton of water on your ride.....it's hot!

and a little gatorade or some kind of electrolyte replacement stuff wouldn't hurt. it's so breezy that you can sweat a lot but it evaporates right off you. don't risk DWD (diving while dehydrated)

Water is good, but make sure you drink something other then water as desalinated water has no nutriments in it at all... Ron

What an interesting topic. On my last visit to the island I found one address that rents bicycles. Its opposite the South Pier!
