It's World Bicycle Day!

Whether you're wanting to bounce around to different restaurants or wanting to burn some calories, biking can get the job done.

Here is a list of 5 beautiful trails for you to cycle around!

This trail runs alongside the city’s light rail system making it an accessible way to bars, restaurants, and cafés.

This trail is still in its expansion phase, but when it's completed, it’ll span 20 miles extending just north of Uptown all the way down to the South Carolina state line.

The trails are marked with levels of difficulty ranging from beginner to advanced so you can choose based on your mood. Whether you’re in the mood for a scenic roll through the woods or a thrilling ride down technical trails, the Whitewater Center has it all.

Right outside of the city center in Matthews, this beautiful out-and-back boardwalk trail stretches across Charlotte’s creeks and wetlands.

Just across the South Carolina border in Fort Mill, the Baxter Village Trail is known for its observation deck that overlooks the Catawba River. This trail is about three miles in length but part of a larger nine-mile network. The nine-miles also consists of shops and restaurants in case you prefer sales over the trails.
