Bikes, locks & trail details
The Tesla setup has onboard locking for up to two bikes. A Kuat bolt-on expansion for three or four bikes is optional; it still needs ordering and fit/capacity confirmation. Locks reduce risk but do not guarantee against theft. Extra bikes inside the car depend on luggage and capacity.
Key Largo is more spread out, so it remains optional for a bike day. The Heritage Trail is segmented; check closures and road conditions before riding. The park currently posts a Nov. 17 closure at MM 71–71.5.
Current trail notice ↗Interested adults can also consider a Rodriguez Cigar Factory history/craft visit.
Rodriguez map ↗Optional light trailer: verify the exact car, hitch, rental terms and tow rating, plus resort storage approval. Rack/trailer combinations may conflict.
