Primarily bike paths tours

Dislike biking in traffic? New to bike touring? Looking to enjoy stress-free cycling? Taking a tour on primarily on dedicated cycle paths might be just the thing for you.

We have a number of tours that take place primarily along dedicated cycle paths or greenways, designed for bikes and pedestrian traffic. Most feature asphalt surfaces, though some are on packed gravel or dirt. Many have superb signage, but of course we provide detailed maps, route descriptions and/or GPS files. However, keep in mind, not all bike paths are 100% traffic-free, as some sections might run parallel to car traffic or allow local resident vehicle access. And, to get to each night’s accommodation, it’s often a short detour off the cycle path, where some road riding and traffic will likely be encountered.

Check out our favorite tours where you spend much of your time on dedicated bike paths.
