Bicycling in Turks and Caicos

Time to get out the bikes! These had been sitting in the forward holds for about 10,000 miles and were now going to get a workout. For Alex, who had just got used to cycling and then had his bike packed in a hold, this meant relearning some of his skills and learning how to ride on the road. Bikes added a new dimension of freedom for the kids – we could let them go cycling around the hotel and marina without worrying about traffic or security and they could get off the boat, be around the pool and on the bikes. One afternoon, we cycled to a beach – we didn’t stay on it because it was on the north side of the island which was being battered by northerly wind and waves, but we did have a great sense of achievement that we got there!
