Cycling Tampa Bay — Downtown to Bayshore in One Epic Loop

Five completely different rides — and I never left Tampa. From downtown skyscrapers along the Tampa Riverwalk to quiet mangroves at Weedon Island and the iconic stretch of Bayshore Boulevard, this loop delivers more variety than I expected in a single ride. In this episode, I explore one of the most dynamic cycling routes in Tampa Bay, linking the Riverwalk, Hillsborough River, Gandy Boulevard Trail, Weedon Island Preserve, and the legendary Bayshore waterfront. Skyline views, open bay crossings, wildlife sightings, and historic neighborhoods — all connected in one continuous adventure. If you’re looking for a scenic bike ride in Tampa, a waterfront cycling route in Florida, or just inspiration for your next two-wheeled exploration, this loop might surprise you. I’m Phil from the Bike Across America YouTube channel, and I bring you new cycling adventures every Saturday.
