Biking is the Best Way to See Goa
We hired our two wheeler at the end of the first day in Goa. We went for the gearless Honda Activa for its riding convenience and as it looked brand new. The rental per day was Rs 300 and we had to keep our pan card as security. You may contact Angelo & Francis Rentals for bikes, cars and taxi services on hire. The address and phone number are as follows:
Behind Casa Serverina H # 229 D, Senhor Francisco Road Gauravaddo,

Please note if there is any damage to the bike they will ask you to pay for it.
The narrow roads of Goa gives a sense that it is best for two wheelers. It actually gives you wings to go around in Goa in leisure. From north to south Goa is all of 105 km in length and 60 km in width. So it is quite comfortably navigable on two wheelers. Our biking experience in Goa let us completely realize monsoon masti (fun). As we rode though the unique country side, backwaters and rice fields of Goa, rain kept us company on and off. At times we had to take pit stops due to rain. Our hiring of the two wheeler let us cover many places in leisure.
Looks like helmet is not mandatory in Goa and found most people driving without helmets. But our rental agency asked us to use helmet if we go long distance. But the helmet she provided was no good. However, do ask for a helmet to keep one handy. I would leave you with this bottom line – if you are going Goa, biking experience is a must!
