Or go to a bike shop and get a copy of the Dallas Bike Plan. Although it's a bit out of date, by and large the routes shown use low traffic streets.

Or get a MTB and ride some of the technical trails in the area (www.dorba.org)

Otherwise, slow down and be courteous. Pedestrians and runners have as much right to the trails as you.
