I grew up in Alaska. Lived in Denali Park (McKinley back then) when I was little because my dad was in the Park Service and then moved to Anchorage while in Jr. High and spent all my formative (high school, college...first marriage) there until my company transferred me. I still have family up there.

As was mentioned before, there are extensive bike trails all around Anchorage. I used to ride along Cambell Creek and since it bordered a greenbelt, several times I had to cut my ride short because there'd be moose on the trail....and you don't mess with moose, especially the cows!!
