Can one safely bicycle on the roads around the island? Security for parked bikes? Distances? Safe from traffic? We are staying at the Sorobon Beach Resort. thanks.

Yes bicycling is safe on Bonaire,all you have to do is (1) rent a bicycle (2) use proper clothing (3)Bring one or two bottles of water (4) use sunblock "always"(5) check a road map (6)Keep your eyes on the road. -remember that sorobon is far from downtown by bicycle (Depends your training).You will find a lot of Burros "Donkeys" and goats on the road. Have a good time !

When the weather cooperates I cycle from Kralendijk to Sorobon almost every weekend. takes me from 20 to 30 minutes, depends on the (wind)direction. Frankly I do almost all my travelling on bycicle. No problemo. Take a repairkit with you and lights!

I agree with the above - Bonaire by bike is the best way to really take in the island. It used to take me about 45 mins from the marina to Sorobon.....and you ride into the wind no matter what direction you are headed :-)

I was driving around that area and got out to take a pic of great piece of dead wood. Got a pain in my foot...looked down....had the biggest dang thorn in my foot I have ever seen. It went through my super thick dive boot like it was butter and ended up a good inch and a half in my foot. Be careful out there !!!

where can I rent or buy a bike? I'm thinking I might buy a cheap used one, use it for the two weeks we'll be there then give it to a Bonairean friend of ours.
