What I really want is "nice" cycling routes, and then doing the longest paths. Many times I've tried to find the longest path that doesn't repeat from my house where I do not intersect with automobile traffic, or taking low-traffic streets without any major intersections. It's tough to get far this way, but competing for space with cars is just so stressful, so it's why I don't do things like ride the perimeter of my city. It's just not very conducive to keeping my bones intact.

- gibolt 3y agoThe Citymapper app has been awesome to find routes through my city that I never would have found. It made biking as a car replacement far easier and significantly more fun. Note that for really long rides, it is best to map segments of it in chunks to avoid main roads.
