Best Cities for Biking

[kelownagirl]

Of course, they never name Canadian cities...

Here are two to add to the list:

Victoria, BC - Awesome paved and unpaved trails that run through the entire city. (Galloping Goose (55+km) and Lochside Trail are both wonderful, safe trails.


Kelowna, BC - Supposedly the most bike lanes for its size. I certainly enjoy riding here. TONS of MTbike trails too.

Albuquerque in da house

I think this is a great town to ride in. The city itself is laced with bike paths, bike routes. There is plenty of awareness and the pace of life here is moderate when compared to the big cities - so that helps a bit on the road.

Not only that but you get the benefit of training at altitude....umpteenth big mountain climbs less than an hour away (on a bike)....tons of sun.....mild weather.

I've also ridden a good bit in Miami & Tampa Bay, FL - Chicago, IL - Toronto, Ontario - and Spain. Miami was the worst by far for riding (with tampa a close second), a day did not pass when I escaped the shouts/insults of motorists on my commute. Chicago has some sections I liked, but it a busy town which is to expected for a city of millions - and look out for winter! Spain is a whole other animal altogether.

Well, maybe NYC is good for something but not for riding unless you are interested in being killed. But that's just my opinion.

Oregon in general is great! Tucson, AZ is wonderful especially now when the weather is getting so pleasant.

Tucson, AZ is a nice place for riding! Yes, I'm being a bit partial since I live here. You just can't beat the weather all year round! I feel for the riders in the winter time that have to battle the freezing cold, snow, sleet, hail, etc.
