Boston Bike Tours delivers the bikes to hotels or other locations. Bike rentals are $25 per day; $70 for three days; or $100 for one week. Cyclists can cover a lot of ground on a bike because Boston is a relatively compact (and flat!) city. Be sure to consider your child's biking ability and energy level before embarking on this tour. While it does make frequent stops, it is still a fairly ambitious tour for a child who's not up for it.
