‘Discover Jamaica By Bike’ Offers Visitors New Cycling Route to Experience Jamaica

KINGSTON, JAMAICA – October 15, 2020 – What started out as a local event to pilot a consumer cycling program will officially become a bookable experience in 2021 known as Discover Jamaica By Bike. The test ride, which was organized and led by the Jamaica

Cycling Association, got underway on October 2 in Port Antonio and saw riders – including Jamaica’s Director of Tourism, Donovan White – making the trek through Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, Negril, South Coast and ending in Kingston.

Discover Jamaica by Bike kicked off with a press conference at Goblin Hill in Port Antonio, before participants hit the road for the scenic test ride that had its first stop in Ocho Rios. Portions of the itinerary take participants through the Resilient Corridors highlighting the rolling hills, beaches and many towns that make Jamaica such a unique destination.

Video was captured along the way with highlights of the first leg (accessible here) showcasing riders departing from Goblin Hill Villas and ending at Jamaica Inn in Ocho Rios. Commentary on the day’s ride was provided by Director White who was the first speaker and recreational cyclist Dennis Chung, the second speaker.

The new cycling experience is part of a larger initiative rooted in developing physically distanced outdoor activities, with a wellness focus, that allow visitors to embrace the island’s natural beauty.
