Q. I'm going to start riding my bike to school, but the downtown area is so hectic that I'm scared to ride on the road. The sidewalks are pretty wide, but I want to know if there's a possibility of getting a ticket while riding on the sidewalks.

Which are the cities with the best bike lanes?

My city is a rich small town thatâs very boring. It has a very beautiful bike lane. Itâs very well taken care of, and the houses are beautiful, it has pretty things to see. But itâs only about 20 miles long. The lane is parallel to 4 boulevards. I start my trip downtown. I go north on one blvd. Turn east and ride the other blvd. Go south, and go over the expressway on the bike lane on the interchange, and keep going. I turn west and then north. I go over the expressway on another interchange, keep riding north, and Iâm back where I started downtown. The entire town is beautiful, but it seems so small, even on a bike. I like that my town is very safe no matter what part of the city Iâm at. And I like the entire time the lane is parallel to the boulevards, even the bike lane over the interchange is fenced.
I would like to travel to different cities and ride their bike lanes. Which cities with a low crime rate have a bike lane thatâs always parallel to the street all the time?
Answer
Well... I've been lots of places, here are some random thoughts:
- best bike path network = Denver. Covers the whole metro area, off-street (separate paths)
- best bike lanes... well that's where I'd offer this suggestion: as a long time road rider, I don't really look for bike lanes. Instead I look for roads and streets that are "bike friendly" meaning wide shoulders, low traffic, scenic etc. So maybe you're missing out on lots of great rides in your hometown - just get out a map and do some exploring.
Otherwise, cities with lots of bike lanes include Austin, Dallas (they use designated streets instead of true bike lanes), Tucson, San Jose, Seattle, Portland, and probably many more I'm forgetting.
