Traillink.com is a free service that lets cyclists “hunt for paths by city, ZIP code, route length, and surface type.” Many trails come with photos, maps, and user reviews. The site encourages users to assist in its Rails-to-Trails conservancy program, which maps “unused railroad corridors” and turns them into bike paths.
1world2wheels.org supplies tips to beginner or hesitant bikers interested in riding more. One such feature will calculate your “carbon reduction, gas money saved, and calories burned,” so you’ll consider opting for two wheels instead of four.
