Having The Best Bike Ride

Sharpening your mind, staying in shape, improving your creativity, and helping the planet is as easy as riding a bike. Literally, all you have to do is ride a bike.

Urban planners are planning with bicycle transportation as a high priority. Wired.com writes, “All over the world, citizens are rediscovering the benefits of cycling. Cities are responding by building the infrastructure to serve and keep them safe. This rush to increase cycling levels and improve the quality of city life is the greatest movement in global urbanism.”

Cycling is beneficial exercise whether you are on your commute to work, dashing off to the store, getting in some fresh air exercise, or doing it as a professional racer.

It’s also a lovely way to sightsee. Here are some of the most beautiful places in the world that seem they were just made to go on a breezy bike ride.

In France there is a 42-mile bike trail that leads you to the Pont d’Arc, where you can dive in and cool off.

In Wyoming, bike from Teton Village to Jackson Hole with breathtaking views of the whitewater Snake river and Grand Teton mountains.

If you find yourself in Austria, there is a bike path along the Danube river that will take you from the German border to Vienna. Sightseeing never felt so good!
