A lot of the good road bike trails in the US are built next to slow-moving rivers and canals for that very reason. Rivers tend to carve the land or reroute until the slope is gentle and nearly constant. My favorite way to find road bike trails in the US is by looking near large rivers.
- ptaipale 8y agoThat is nice if you're riding bike on trails you can pick, for fun (thanks for hint). For those of us commuting to work, to move from place A to place B and back, that is unfortunately not always feasible...
- narag 8y agoFor bikes replacing cars, you need flat paths to places you want to go (your home, shopping, work) not to places you go to ride a bike.
