Curious about where in the US I might find good cycling. It's GREAT to have a city where I can cycle to do my errands or ride to work, but that topic is pretty well covered and I have some ideas there. What I'm having a harder time with, is where can I go out an cycle on the weekend on a wide paved trail that is off the road. Depending on my level of fitness at the time, I like to do anywhere between 20 and 40 miles per ride.

# US Cities with good paved cycling/multi-use paths

I live in the United States and will be moving in the next few years for work.

Curious about where in the US I might find good cycling. It's GREAT to have a city where I can cycle to do my errands or ride to work, but that topic is pretty well covered and I have some ideas there. What I'm having a harder time with, is where can I go out an cycle on the weekend on a wide paved trail that is off the road. Depending on my level of fitness at the time, I like to do anywhere between 20 and 40 miles per ride.

For examples of what I mean, San Antonio, TX has a nice multi-use path that rings the city that I think is nearly 80 miles long. Austin, in my experience, had very little in the way of paved paths longer than about 7 miles so I rode them repetitively until I was bored to tears. The Dallas/Fort Worth area has the Trinity trail which, while not always paved (crushed gravel) is extensive. Houston has the paths along the bayous. And Boulder, CO had some nice paved trails as well. As you can see, the vast majority of my biking experience has been in Texas, but I'm not really looking to stay here.

Would love to know if you have experience in other cities/other states of places for these types of rides or if you can point me to an online resource that might have this information. I've tried just using the bike layer on google maps, but it's a pretty tedious way of doing it. Ideally, I'd love to live in a place where I could bike to the paths rather than loading my bike on my car to get there, but it is not a dealbreaker.

Please let me know if this post doesn't make sense or doesn't belong here or has already been answered a place that I haven't found yet. Thanks!
