Bike Rides & Routes

Always bike safe when you’re sharing the road with cars: How to Ride A Bike in Traffic 

To make your own road-biking route, we suggest you use Google Maps and the “biking” feature:

  • Enter your destination and starting point, then select the “bike” option
  • You can see distance, time estimates, elevation gain, and route options
  • Please be careful when using your phone for directions! Stop biking to check your phone. 
  • https://www.google.com/maps/ 

If you want to do mountain biking or find trails in Tilden, we suggest you use the All Trails App, which you can download on your phone. You can use the search feature to find trails that fit what you want, and track your ride.
