With prices just raised 30% on taxi fares and gas now hovering between 15 and 18 pesos a liter, now couldn’t be a better time to spend some of your next Cozumel vacation on a bike.
We lived in downtown Cozumel for several years without a car and got along just fine. Now we have a ‘beater’ we use for cross island beach hopping and major grocery store runs. But we still continue to use our bikes for the majority of our transportation needs.
San Miguel is a remarkably fun place for biking. Many locals ride bikes so cabs and private cars are very accustomed to yielding the right of way to you.
Particularly if you stay in town at a rental villa, you’ll find that renting or bringing along a bike may turn out to be one of the most enjoyable experiences you have while on the island. It’s a great way to check out the back streets of San Miguel and stay cool while you’re doing it.
And now that they’ve completed the new “cyclopista” south of town, you can actually bike safely all the way from downtown San Miguel to beautiful Chankannab Park and one of the best snorkeling spots on the island, Dzul Ha reef at The Money Bar.
