There is a nice, flat, paved bike trail along the Glenn Highway which is very close to Elmendorf and Fort Richardson. You can ride it almost all the way to Eagle River. You can also ride the other direction towards Anchorage and access the Russian Jack trail system. Once there you can ride along Chester Creek to the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail all the way to Kincaid Park. In fact, using the various paved trails, you can ride approximately 30 miles in a loop around Anchorage, with very little time on roads. There is probably a map showing the paved bike trails. Check at the bicycle shops when you get here. You might want to join the Arctic Bicycle Club. They have both a road bike and a mountain bike division. That would be a good way to discover where to ride and to meet fellow bike riders. I hope you enjoy Anchorage. It's a great place to live.
