We are thinking of taking a vacation in the Williamsburg, VA area and were wondering if anyone was familiar with the area's bike paths. I'm looking for bike/recreation paths that would be suitable for children that are not quite ready to deal with riding in traffic. Scenic or otherwise interesting locations would be a bonus but not necessary.

You're in luck! Williamsburg is a great place to cycle with a family. The new Virginia Capital Trail system is coming together nicely, with the section from Jamestown Island to the Chicahominy River complete. http://www.virginiacapitaltrail.org/ This is a perfect paved trail surface for young riders not ready for the roads. Be sure to check out Williamsburg Area Cyclist as well. http://www.wabonline.org/ Freedom Park has close to 20 miles of mountain bike trails that has something for every rider. http://www.jccegov.com/recreation/parks/freedom-park.html Check out the skate park too on the P&R link. The kids will love Busch Gardens and Water Country as well.
