Last weekend I spent 3 days at the Cape with my family. I’m one who loves tropical beaches – white sand and palm trees, but there is nothing like the New England beaches!

First, I’d like to get it off my chest that every time I saw one of those “SOS” stickers opposing the wind turbines, I had to refrain myself from egging the cars they were stuck on. Well, maybe I didn’t even have a carton of eggs available to me, but come on people! I’m from Massachusetts. If we claim to be a liberal state, then we should all quit whining and accept the fact that this could arguably be one of the best choices we’ve made. Plus, wind turbines actually look quite pretty.

Aside from the passive-aggressive turbine protests, Cape Cod offers quite a view for the traveler. As a most recent broken bicycle owner, I mournfully looked into some travel bike trips on the Cape as I can’t imagine a better bike ride than one that trails along the coast. The New York Times online has a great bike guide for Cape Cod visitors and/or residents.

When I was about fourteen, my aunt and I rented a tandem bicycle for the day and biked around Provincetown. I highly recommend doing this, so fun! To me, biking offers the best opportunity to tour a place without letting everything whiz past you in a blink and still allowing you to reach your destinations at a faster pace than walking. I know what you’re thinking – “duh!”
