Plan a journey on these beautiful bike routes in the USA.
2020 is definitely strange, and maybe a bike-centric trip is not on you to do list, right now. But think of a beautiful ride with family and friends, the great outdoors and all the benefits for body and mind, and start planning one for the near future.
Every state has its jams when it comes to bike paths, and, if you start searching, you might find one just around the corner. Here are some suggestion, we hope just an introductory short-list, with many more to follow in the future. Some might be much more difficult than others in terms of length and climbs, some are paved, some are dirt, a few might have adjacent traffic, so keep your experience level in mind when you start dreaming.
