We did a half-day (12k) cycle through villages and around a lagoon with our guide and it was one of the highlights of our holiday; we saw and learned so much, stopping to chat to an old crab fisherman, another guy catching oysters and visiting one of those roadside shacks for a drink. Away from the tourist traps, this was a taste of Sri Lanka that we might not otherwise have seen. Our guide, a local man, was incredibly well-informed with impeccable English. We are both reasonably fit but in our early 60s and have not been on a bike for years. We need not have worried, the route was mainly smooth tracks and paths with no other vehicles. Well worth it.
