Northern Michigan opens up under two wheels: low-slung lake horizons, treelined lanes and the easy cadence of a bike built for comfort. The Women’s Bikes experience outfits riders with a lightweight frame and a comfortable seat so the landscape — from waterfront trails to the charms of Elk Rapids and the calm of country roads — becomes the point of focus, not the effort.
