These tours of street, beach and trail in along Georgia's coast vary in distance but not in terrain. Except for a bridge, an overpass, and an occasional hill, all are virtually flat.
Difficulty is determined by length, traffic and the direction and speed of the wind.
Coastal breezes can be as challenging or exhilarating as any hill. The city is laid out in squares and the streets are lined with palmetto trees, giant live oaks, and colonial, antebellum and Victorian houses. Cycling is a great way to acquaint yourself with the architectural exteriors and to get a taste of the allure that attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists yearly. The city's beauty even melted tough General Ulysses S. Grant's heart 130-odd years ago. He spared Savannah but left a large swath of Georgia destroyed on his March to the Sea during the American Civil War.
