Vacation Destination Suggestions
My wife and I travel to different cities for bicycle vacations. We'll get a cheap hotel and spend our days bicycling around town. We ride about 50-60 miles a day and look for cities with good paved bike paths separated from traffic. We've been to Minneapolis, Phoenix, Seattle, & L.A. All these cities have phenomenal bike paths. Does anyone have any suggestions for other cities that are notable for their bike friendliness?
We've been to Portland and were a little disappointed, it didn't seem to live up to it's reputation, lots of bike lanes but the paths were limited in miles and repair.
Also, when you get to a new city it's very easy to miss some very good routes. Without local knowledge you often over look a path because every time it crosses from one city or county to another it will change it's name. What looks like short individual trails is actually one seamless 30 mile ride.
