The Experience

We started rolling right away—no slow build-up, just a quick check of the bikes (I’d never tried an e-bike before; honestly thought I’d wobble into traffic) and then off we went with Mark, our guide. He waved us down these tree-shaded streets in one of the oldest parts of Fort Lauderdale. The air smelled like fresh-cut grass and sunscreen, which is probably my favorite Florida combo. Mark told us about Mary Brickell buying up land here in the 1800s—he made it sound like she was some kind of real estate ninja. We zipped past houses that looked older than my grandma’s stories.

Las Olas Boulevard came up fast—boutiques and cafes everywhere, but Mark steered us along quieter back roads. There was this moment by Stranahan House where he paused to point out the old trading post on the river. The water was calm, except for a couple of ducks arguing (or maybe flirting? hard to tell). Then we cruised along Riverwalk’s red brick path—honestly, I didn’t expect so many mega yachts just parked there like it’s normal to have a boat bigger than my apartment.

The wind picked up as we crossed Andrews Bridge toward the Downtowner—a fish house that still feels like old Florida. I caught a whiff of fried something from inside; made me hungry even though we’d just had breakfast. The next stretch took us through neighborhoods where every house looked ready for a magazine cover. At one point I lost count of how many palm trees lined the road—felt almost hypnotic gliding past them with barely any effort thanks to the electric bike.

We stopped at 17th Street lookout for a view over Port Everglades—the horizon was hazy but you could see ships waiting way out there. Mark talked about how this whole port started as farmers shipping produce; now it’s all trade and cruise ships. Last bit was pure fun: five miles along Fort Lauderdale Beachfront with the ocean on one side and that famous wave wall on the other. Sun got in my eyes but I didn’t mind—I still think about that view sometimes when I’m stuck in traffic back home.
