Instead of building bikelanes my county has opted for trails, which honestly is not a bad option. Or at the very least, better than nothing. The way they did it was just by turning a lot of the sidewalks into multi use paths, so it makes a lot of sense I didn’t notice that I could use them.
There’s quite a few of them, and it definitely makes me feel safer that I can just ride on the “sidewalk” on a lot of the busy streets.
I kind of wish they would advertise this shit more because I literally had no idea, it’s like it’s hiding in plain site on their website.
I think i can’t really follow. What’s the difference between a cycle path and a cycle trail? A cycle trail is just some recreational route or what?
It’s not a cycle path, it’s a multi-use path. So anyone can use it, including cyclists. The difference here is that these paths look like sidewalks, and run along major streets/highways.
Think “big sidewalk” that you can cycle on.
