Hi
I will be moving to Bonaire in May, remaining for about a year. Is it possible to buy a bicycle for a reasonable price? or is it better to bring one? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Bring one, with spare parts, strong lock, front & rear lights if you'll ride after 7pm, and extra tires/tubes (esp. flat repair kit).

Oh, and a bell ;-)

Bring a used one.

Tire liners :-)are a must! Panniers are handy - it's too hot & sweaty to ride with a backpack.

All removable parts epoxied in place (including handle grips). All quick releases replaced with bolts.

It's a wonderful place for biking!
