We, Me, DW and DD8 rented bicycles on 3/18 at
Castaway Cay.
Ask a CM where the bike station is. They will direct you. I think that the location on the map was inaccurate.
No, we didn't crash into any other bikers. The trails, at a minimum, were about 15 feet wide.
We had a great time! The bicycles are in decent shape. They have all sizes - There were child seats on some of the bicycles. We went right after lunch and there were plenty of bikes at that time. When we first picked out the bikes I thought that the tires were a little low on air pressure, but I eventually found out why.
There is a trail... You follow a paved road which turns into an old wide 1/2 mile long runway (at the other end is the adult beach). Then you can follow an old road which takes you to the CM's beach. The road is sandy - that's why the tires are "low" - better traction. There are plenty of water stations along the way. - Big coolers from the ship with really cold water.
The total round trip distance is about 3 miles. We had time to stop at the game building, on the way back, before our hour was up.
The CMs don't really watch the clock. I think that we could have exceeded the hour without a problem. It was lots of fun !
We had a small backpack for our important stuff - we left our other beach stuff on our chair at the beach.
On the family beach - we found a great location - follow the beach until you get to the "wooden fort" - you'll see it in the water. It is close to the "bar", Cookie's BBQ, the restrooms, and the bike rental place. Oh, if you rent the floats (the flat blue ones work better) pick them up on your way. I highly recommend you rent a float.
