Nantucket

Nantucket has an excellent public bus system which has routes that cover the entire island. Don't remember if the buses accommodate bikes. As I recall, you can get an all day pass.

Thanks everyone for your replies. We will check out the bike trails. Whaling museum is on the list and maybe the light house. Planning on bringing our appetites, we will keep an eye out for the Rose and Crown Pub or something similar. Hopefully the dining will live up to the standred of Arnolds! :C

Lots of restaurants down town. Bike paths all over the island. You will need more than one day to see it all. Do go to whaling museum it's in town.

Can't help with the bikes, but we enjoyed the whaling museum there better than the one in New Bedford.

Nantucket is a fairly large island by bike. You'll most likely just see the downtown area (cobble stone streets - I'd walk rather than bike), the ubiquitous lighthouse at Brant Point (don't forget to throw a penny from the ferry as you go by on the way home) and maybe out to the Cliffs. There are several bike paths of varying length. I'd stop at one of the dozens of bike shops at the ferry dock and grab a map.

The high speed ferry out of Hyannis is your best bet at $50 something round trip. Only takes an hour.

For lunch I'd try the Rose and Crown Pub if it's still there.

No idea on best places to go but taking the bikes for a day on Nantucket is a great idea!
