What are some cool spots you like riding your bike to? (self.bicycles)

Summer is approaching (in the Northern hemisphere, anyways) and while I do still bike in the winter, I'm hyped for the nicer weather to go on more leisure rides rather than just commuting.

However, I'm lacking ideas and inspirations for spots to cycle to, so I was curious where everyone here likes to go on bike rides!

There's apparently a plan for a rail-to-trail which would directly connect my city and the beach, which despite progressing at a snail's pace has me really excited! It would be along some rivers and creeks in the forest, which I always dig.

Currently, the options are either the highway (which I avoid unless at night because at least it has a shoulder) or the old route, which doesn't have shoulders but doesn't have too much traffic either, and most drivers are respectful. It's a quite gorgeous ride too, going through fields and farmland. No lights and no shoulder are why I opt for the highway at night, though!

Oh man, that rail-to-trail sounds great! I hope it gets completed sooner than later!

Make sure you email whoever is working on that and tell them how much you appreciate their work and are looking forward to biking it! I've written to my local council on a few occasions and told them how much I appreciate what they're doing with specifics about how it effects me personally which can be anything from increased safety, lower environmental impact, improved physical & mental health, just plain fun, or connecting more with your family/friends/community etc. The more they hear that they're having a positive impact on people and their community the more they'll be motivated to push ahead with new projects!
