š¼Letās take it back to the beach š¶
#23. Rent a bike on the beach
šSouth Beach, KZN
š„³Fun factor: beach + bike + breeze + bae = BEST!
šš¾āāļøFitness level: if you can ride a bike (or vaguely remember being able to do so in your youth), then donāt think twice. This was wonderfully relaxed and easy. South beach is flat so itās a breezy beautiful ride. Youāll have a great time.
š§š¾ Suitability for Kids: yebo! They also have bikes for kids (no training wheels) so why not make it a family affair –Ā #memoriesaremadelikethis
šøCost: R50 for 30min, R70 for 1hr, R140 for a tandem…but think hard before you try be cuteĀ #justsaying (check out Instagram highlight #23)
𤩠What we loved most:
– This type of ride isnāt about clocking mileage or distance, itās about letting your hair blow back (even a jiggle in the āfro counts) and soaking up the sun & scenery.
– The ocean did its thing – that thing where it just lifts your spirit and makes you feel better.
š¦ What you need to know: Husbae and I thought weād be cute and ride the tandem bike. Ha! We didnāt make it 100m. He kept telling me to stop trying to control the bike. I kept telling him he needs to control it better. It didnāt take us long to agree that this type of cute doesnāt work for us šš¤·š½āāļø So, just a heads up – use it donāt use it.
In short: once we decided itās every man/woman for themselves, we had the best time. You always see this scene in movies, right? The young couple cruising along the beach, wind brushed hair, laughing into the sun. Try it in real life! Itās a vibe.
Ps – there are many places to rent bikes along the beach and all pretty affordable. This time we usedĀ @oceanventuresushakaĀ , but thereās alsoĀ @xpressiondurbanĀ (we love them) , Bike & Saddle closer to north beach and many more. Walk along the beach and youāll find a place.
