After construction was completed earlier this year, it was re-opened to much fanfare.2. Shark Valley[caption id="attachment_426" align="alignnone" width="5184"]

Feel free to bring your own bike or rent one from the Visitors Center, and get ready to see some really cool wildlife along the ride.3.

Our advice is to not only take your bike on the Boardwalk from 21st street to 5th street, but to continue on and explore south of 5th.4.

You can rent a citibike for a couple of hours and zip up and down the artistic streets of this vibrant neighborhood. There will definitely be a few murals you've never seen before.5.
