We love this article on biking in Savannah and just had to share with you. We hope that you can join us on one of our 2017 tour dates!
The city’s squares not only make Savannah one of the most beautiful cities in North America, they also have a traffic calming effect in the National Historic Landmark District and in other parts of the city where Oglethorpe’s plan has served as a model and inspiration. Add Savannah’s flat terrain and moderate climate, and the result is a wonderfully bike-able city. More than 12 million people visited Savannah in 2011, and a growing number are bringing their bicycles with them. Once here, they pedal along with local college students, commuters and recreational cyclists. 
Explore the people watching to be seen at City Market, and Ellis Square, with convenient bicycle parking at street level. Window shop on Barnard Street, or stop and pop in to a store to a local store to find a souvenir, bicycle parking is readily available and free. Take the South bound bike lane on Price Street, and experience Savannah’s many architectural style as you make your way to Ardsley park. Cross over Victory Drive on to the Chatham Crescent and view Savannah’s first suburb. Make your way on to Washington Avenue and ride through the center of Daffin Park to experience live oak shade.
There are many routes in Savannah; each will take you some where new and exciting. Recapture that childlike joy of exploration and freedom gained by touring Savannah by bicycle. We hope you enjoy cycling during your visit, and ride safe!
