Come to think about it, I think it might have been cheaper to rent a scooter/car than two bikes... Roundtop Drive actually offers a very nice view of Honolulu, but I guess most of the tourists don't know about it-->we saw very few cars there. I think if I ever bike that path again, I'm going to bring a backpack to pick up all those ripe mangos planted/dropped all along the path...can make some nice mango pudding dessert after the ride.

Did you stop in the park on the Roundtop Drive side (about 2.5 miles up)? There is an overlook there which give a great panaramic view of most of that side of the island.
