Home of the world-famous Ironman Triathlon with its 112-mile bike segment, the Big Island has plenty of serious cyclists—and plenty of very casual ones too. Some visitors go “bicycle camping” around the island, pedaling from campground to campground with all their gear strapped on their bikes. You can rent a bike and go out on your own, or sign up with a tour company offering guided trips.
