Regional Bike Path Guide

Ready to set out on a bicycling adventure? Well, here's a curated list of some bike paths to try. Now we've tried to keep the list to paths & trails 5 miles or longer in length - but there are certainly many more paths under 5 miles if that's your speed.  If that's what you're looking for, we suggest doing a search for your local area on TrailLink.com, a truly great resource finding trails of all sizes & types.  And remember, most of these paths on this list are "out-n-back" routes, so whatever distance you pedal "out" you'll have to ride that same distance to get "back". Hey, it's easy to forget...

Here's a quick check list of things to do & bring before you set out:

And if you're interested in learning about cycling gear you might want to consider on longer rides, read these two quick little articles:

If you're certain your bike isn't in proper working condition and you'd like a professional tune it up, we do can do that:
 > Tune Ups & Maintenance Service 
(*Just remember that Bike Services can take a few days and even longer during our busy season. Bring your bike in sooner than later.)

If you're certain your bike is so old that it isn't even worth getting  tuned-up, then maybe it's time to think about getting a new bicycle. Here's a list of bikes more than capable of providing bike path fun. And remember, all new bike purchases come with 1-year of FREE adjustments.  We want you to enjoy the ride.
