Pedaling into Adventure

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for activities that promise fun and bonding for the whole family. So, when I heard about the Surrey Cycle and Bike Rentals in Bend, I knew it was a must-try for our next family adventure. The idea of pedaling along the scenic Deschutes River with my husband and two kids in a Surrey was too tempting to resist.

We arrived at Wheel Fun Rentals, conveniently located in the Old Mill District, with excitement bubbling over. The kids were thrilled at the sight of the colorful Surreys lined up and ready to go. After a quick safety briefing and fitting of helmets, we were off! The Surrey, with its eight-passenger capacity, was perfect for our family of four, leaving plenty of room for snacks and our day packs.

The Deschutes River Trail offered a picturesque backdrop as we pedaled along, laughing and chatting. The gentle breeze and the sound of the river made for a serene yet exhilarating experience. The kids took turns ringing the bell, announcing our presence to fellow trail-goers, while my husband and I enjoyed the chance to relax and soak in the beautiful surroundings.

Exploring Bend on Two Wheels

After our Surrey adventure, we decided to explore more of Bend on electric bikes. The transition from the Surrey to the electric bikes was seamless, thanks to the helpful staff at Wheel Fun Rentals. They provided us with maps and bike locks, ensuring we had everything we needed for a stress-free ride.

The electric bikes were a hit with the kids, who loved the thrill of zooming along the trails without much effort. We ventured further into Bend, discovering charming neighborhoods and hidden gems that we might have missed on foot. The electric bikes allowed us to cover more ground, and the kids enjoyed the sense of independence as they navigated the paths.

Bend’s network of dedicated bike paths made it easy to explore without worrying about traffic, and the scenic views kept us captivated throughout our ride. We even stopped for a picnic by the river, where we shared stories and laughter, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

A Day of Family Fun

Our day with Surrey Cycle and Bike Rentals was a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and family bonding. The variety of rental options, from Surreys to electric bikes, ensured that there was something for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level.

The experience reminded me of the importance of stepping out of our comfort zones and trying new things as a family. It was a day filled with joy, laughter, and a sense of togetherness that only comes from shared experiences. Whether you’re a local or a visitor to Bend, I highly recommend giving this activity a try.

As we returned our bikes and bid farewell to the friendly staff, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to create such wonderful memories with my family. It’s adventures like these that fuel my passion for family travel writing and inspire me to continue exploring new destinations and activities.
