The Bristol–Bath cycle route is a fantastic way to travel between the two cities. The 13 mile flat route is traffic-free along a disused railway line – more information at from Sustrans. For bike hire see Next Bike in Bath and Cycle The City, Jakes Bikes and Better By Bike in Bristol.
Boat
An excellent way to experience each city is from the water. Bristol Ferries operate a regular service from Temple Meads station to the city centre and around the harbour. Details of boat trips in Bath can be found here.
