I wouldn't take a decent road bike on Culebra's roads. As far as I know all the bikes available for rent are mountain bikes. Conditions include paved roads with potholes and no shoulders, some steep hills, some gravel roads in poor condition. And it is hot! Having said all that, we relied on bikes as our only source of transportation the first year, and for all but two days last year. If you take your time, have plenty of water, and are in decent shape, you can ride almost anywhere you want to go, and it's certainly easier to find a place to park in town. It's an easy ride from town to Flamenco and back. Zoni was the toughest ride, with steep hills. Our daughter was 14 the first time we came and she didn't want to ride all the way back -- as it turned out we could have made it easily, since Dick wouldn't come down the last hill into Zoni so we had the steepest part of the ride behind us by the time he came to pick us up. Dick and Kathie rent Specialized bikes, and he includes old inner tubes to use to tie stuff to the rack on the back. We were able to carry snorkeling gear, lunch, cameras, sunscreen, etc. easily using a small daypack and the racks on the bikes.
Zoni is my favorite sandy beach.
