Bicyclers enjoying one of the many bike trails in Gulf Shores

My family just returned from a trip to look at condos in a fairly undeveloped part of Florida.  What struck me was the number of travelers with bicycles.  Serious biking. I saw many with 4 or more bikes going along for the vacation.  What also struck me was how Florida really did not have any “good” places to bike, at least not convenient to the areas with condos and house rentals.  I was thinking for my family what a great place our Gulf Shores unit is to bike.  Our building provides a bike rack for locking your bike up safely once you arrive.  Gulf Shores provides bike lanes all along Beach Boulevard, and you can easily hit many side roads for scenic routes, or bike up to Gulf State Park.  Me, I am more of a bicyclist as means of transportation, and I like biking for trips to the souvenir shop, ice cream, or even to Wal-mart or Brunos (kid seats come in handy for bringing home the groceries!).  Bikers, look to Gulf Shores for a great beach and biking getaway!
