Surrey bikes?

[bsjs0708]

I would really like to rent a surrey bike for the 5 of us.I read the FAQ post and really couldn't get any sure-fire answers. Does anyone know where I can rent one? TIA-Julie

There are no surrey bikes for rent at Fort Wilderness.

You can rent one at Wilderness Lodge. Folks often rent surrey bikes at WL, and ride them to FW. But, you have to bring it back to WL.

p.s. They are not as fun as they look.

p.p.s. I would rent a golf cart before I rented a surrey bike.

Thanks for the quick replies...I think I will stick with our golf cart.

I just wish we could take the golf cart to WL.

Several years ago, I rented one at OKW. Wow, it was a lot more work and a lot less fun that what I envisioned. Then again, nobody has ever confused me with Lance Armstrong.

That is when you look at your pedal partner and wonder if he or she is really putting forth enough effort. Lol

I swear I have read somewhere that they were not allowed at FW.

Yeah that's true, but you can rent them at Wilderness Lodge and ride them on the pathway that leads to Fort Wilderness, but there will be pole barriers that cause you to turn around before you actually get to Fort Wilderness.

Is that the only area to ride them in, the pathway between the resorts?

I hesitate to post this, as every time I question something Carol says, I have been wrong.

But, I know someone who has, from time to time, very late at night, when no one is looking, driven his golf cart from the Fort to WL. There are no poles that have prevented him from doing so.

I'm not sure what the official rules are when you rent a surrey at WL, but I can say that I have seen red-faced, over-heated, gasping-for-air guests from WL riding a surrey right down the road in front of Pioneer Hall (that's in FW for anyone who may not know). So, maybe there are poles, but they obviously aren't hard to get around.

See above.

You can. Technically. There is nothing stopping you. Well, except the Disney Po-po. Not that we have ever done this. Accidentally. The deer are abundant in that area.

Those things are a fight waiting to happen! You'd think two to four people pedaling would make for a nice easy bike ride, but all you think about is if anyone else is pedaling. Rent a golf cart.

We were at the Fort a couple weeks ago and saw people with one down by the Meadows Trading Post.
