The Outer Banks Smart-guided Selfie Cycle Tour Collection - 3 OBX, NC Tours

Experience the Outer Banks at the speed of bike.

The Outer Banks explored by bike is unlike any other way to experience this unique narrow strip of beauty along North Carolina's coastline.

Easily tie these tours to your boardwalk hotel stay, at your campsite, or start at the free convenient parking spots. This unique set of Smart-guided Selfie Cycle Tours brings three tour options to three different areas of the Outer Banks.

The Short Oneway Loop (SOL) in Corolla has all the bells and whistles you have come to expect with a CycleNuts Selfie Tour: bikeway-focused; expertly designed route; points of interest along the way; easy to navigate; tasty refreshment stops; sensible tours for casual cyclists. The 74% bikeway tour is 18 miles, weaving through the laid-back OBX Corolla community to several points of interest.

Corolla has the horses. And, the beaches. And, the cool historic village. And, that lighthouse. And, more. And it is all connected by a nicely designed bikeway infrastructure. If you have a two-wheel drive fat-tire e-bike you have been itching to launch on an oceanfront beach, this is the spot. Check out the Corolla 4x4 beaches.

The 29-mile Long Oneway Loop in Kitty Hawk is 47% bikeway. The centerpiece of the area is the Wright Brothers National Memorial. Several other Wright Brothers memorabilia are nestled in the amazing Outerbanks scenery. You don't know what you don't know is what I found out with this tour about the Wright Brothers and their connection to Kitty Hawk and K*ll Devil Hills.

Part of the 47% of bikeway on this tour passes through scenic Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve, a substantial coastal maritime forest and marsh. The tour route connects the east and west shores, from wooded trails to beachfront vistas.

Carolyn's Beach There-And-Back Tour is 29% bikeway, or higher, depending on whether beach riding is considered a bikeway. If it is, the bikeway percentage increases to 92%. Not counting beaches, the tour route uses the very wide berms of the main - and only - road through most of the OBX Cape Hatteras region.

The destination of this 54-mile tour is Carolyn's Beach, an elusive gem of pristine beach often overlooked, often undiscovered, and always gorgeous. If you discover this unmapped bit of remote beach on the quiet side of the Cape, please share a selfie at [email protected] Participants will be rewarded with free tour Promo codes.

The OBX Collection is a perfect Outer Banks destination adventure tour! It passes through several hotel and campground areas, beaches, food, entertainment, and attraction areas. All three tours are outstanding memory makers, especially because of the Outer Banks' beauty.

Easily, with the Smart-guide, you can wander away from the tour routes to explore areas and points of interest that you find along the way. The smart guide will get you back on the tour route when you are ready to resume the tour. Speaking of points of interest, look at this impressive list! Did you say you are riding a fat-tire bike? That's great because there are several miles of rideable beachfront to explore.

The tours are quite level and come with the CycleNuts 50% downhill guarantee. However, there is the 'invisible' hill - the wind - which blows any which way it decides, or not at all. Sweating is optional, but probably unavoidable. The segments that are not bikeways are commonly cycled roadways when possible. If you are more comfortable using sidewalks in these areas you will find some roadway segments with sidewalks. "Bicyclists may, but are not required to, utilize any usable path for bicycles that have been provided adjacent to a roadway. Bicycles are permitted on the sidewalks in many municipalities, except in center city areas. Check local ordinances for variations on this rule." source: https://www.bikelaw.com/laws/north-carolina/

Camping opportunities abound for those camping with a bike and even bike-camping or bikepacking. With a few modifications to the route, easily add a bit of ocean-side camping at National Recreation Oregon Inlet Campground or one of several other private campgrounds found along the tour route.
