Riding a bike is not only great exercise, but it happens to be a fantastic way to explore cities. Many cities in the U.S. have amazing bike paths that travel for miles through diverse terrain without actually going into busy streets. Visit new cities, ride to beautiful parks, and see historic landmarks while riding through these bike paths in the U.S.
