This was the first time my wife and I have visited Bald Head Island together....We got off the ferry and headed right over to Riverside Adventure Company to rent a couple of bicycles for our day of exploring. We were met by Warren who was working on a bike in the cellar bicycle storage area. He was real nice, pleasant, and found us two bikes even though he was getting short of ones for rent. He took our information and credit card and added two baskets to our rentals and we were off and peddling... Their rental bicycles are comfortable and easy to pedal...They seemed to be well maintained. After touring on the island for around 3 1/2 hours, including a lunch stop we headed back to the port area to return our bicycles. The staff at Riverside Adventure Company is just real helpful and polite and you get the feeling they welcome your business.....
