Blog: Get on Your Bikes and Ride!
Bikes are universal. What is it about bikes that attracts people of every flavor? Freedom. Fun. The feeling of flying. Traveling silently, quickly, and nimbly under one’s own power is unlike any other way to move from A to B. Done often, it keeps you in shape and is a great way to make short trips without polluting. So, as the weather brings people back outside, check out some of these opportunities to get on your bike and ride in and around Savannah.
The Earth Day Savannah Wheelie

Living Legends
As one of the most anticipated annual events of the sporting world, Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf is shaping more than just the stats of the tournament’s top-notch players—its shaping the city of Savannah itself.
Of all the landmarks in America’s first planned city, a once unsightly, long-overlooked slice of land across the Savannah River never figured to be one of them. But for one week each spring, Hutchinson Island is as important to the city’s identity as any of its historic squares.
On the island, upon the sprawling greens making up The Club at Savannah Harbor, some of the biggest names in golf come each April to compete for one of the biggest purses on the Champions Tour at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. There, the world’s attention is turned towards Savannah through a television broadcast seen in over 80 countries worldwide— the only live network coverage for a local sports event.
