The San Juan Islands are bike iconic
Yes, Orcas Island is hilly, but the joys of the view are amazing. Check out Wildlife Cycles in Eastsound for all the bike care you will need.
Amplify’d from www.tdn.com
Island is hilly but a good place to start if for no other reason
than you won't have to pay an additional ferry fare if you choose
to ride San Juan and Lopez islands on the way back to Anacortes.
Visit them in the opposite order and you'll need an additional
ticket for each trip.
