Problem with most “bike routes” is that they are stuffed with walkers and families and have a 15 mph limit. Not really practical for actual bike riders.
My wife keeps wanting to go for a walk on the maple valley trail and I inform her that it is paved. It is for bikes and rollerblades. I like to walk on DIRT. There are very nice trails in the woods in our area that are not right next to a freaking hiway.
15mph!!! I’d never to get to work!
