Bed and breakfast and bicycles

California bed and breakfast inns are adding another B to their list of offerings: bikes. The California Association of Bed and Breakfast Inns (CABBI) is launching its newest travel program, Beds, Bikes & Breakfast.

Ninety CABBI B&Bs throughout California are officially designated as bike-friendly and offer secured bike storage facilities and healthy, hearty breakfasts to fuel a day of touring. Many inns also offer laundry facilities and area bike trail maps. Cycling advocate and Bear Valley Inn owner/innkeeper and League board member Amanda Eichstaedt provided CABBI with valuable insight into cyclists' needs while traveling by bike. Travelers interested in finding bike-friendly B&Bs can visit www.cabbi.com and search for inns marked with a bicycle icon. CABBI's free Travel Guide Map, also available online, pinpoints where each B&B is located so cyclists can plan vacations whether they are avid riders or recreational cruisers. (Via the LAB).
