Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.jeff51

Some touring bicyclists have started a non-commercial website, Bicycle Touring On Car Free Paths, on how to do the great long-distance car-free bike paths in North America -- where the paths are, narratives on their settings in nature and history, information on lodging and camping, restaurants and food, ice cream and beer, bike shops and shuttle services -- basically, what the touring cyclist would want to know to plan a trip that could be across the state or across the continent.

We hope other touring bicyclists will continually add content -- their own suggestions for doing the trips as well as pictures -- to keep it current and expand it out. And as more touring bicyclists write us about their favorite car-free paths not now covered, the list of paths on the website will grow. If more people are on the paths, we might get more and better paths.
Paths covered on the site now include the C&O Canal, the Great Allegheny Trail, Greenbrier River Trail, Mickelson Trail, Silver Comet/Chief Ladiga, P'tit Train du North, Kettle Valley Trail, the Coeur d'Alenes, and the Katy Trail.
At this point, some paths are covered in more detail than others, a shortcoming we hope updates from touring cyclists will correct.
