Mountain Biking and Cycling on Molokai

Road biking is discouraged on most of the Hawaiian Islands, but not so on Molokai.  The traffic is light, and the open expanses and small size of Molokai make for excellent cycling.  Biking is an excellent way to see the island, and less expensive than renting a car.  There are over 50 miles of mountain biking trails on Molokai as well, with fabulous mountain and ocean views, and exciting singletrack, oceanside,  and desert rides.  In his book, Mountain Biking the Hawaiian Islands, John Alford describes the ups and downs of such riding areas as Molokai Ranch, The Molokai Forest Reserve, and Puu O'Hoku Ranch.   

Molokai Bicycle is the only full-service bike shop on the island, but Molokai Rental Tours and  Molokai Outdoor Activities also rent mountain bikes and road bikes for around $20/day.  

Molokai Ranch offers Mountain Bike Rentals and Tours of its rugged premises for $25/day rental fee or $35 for a half-day tour.  Molokai Outdoor Activities offers a "Mountain to the Ocean" tour, and  Molokai Rental Tours presents a full-day and a half-day bike tour for $45/half-day or $80/full-day.
