bike trail

Route for cyclists

A bike trail is a path designated for bicycle travel, often paved or packed dirt, running through parks, along waterfronts, or connecting neighborhoods.

Some bike trails share space with pedestrians; others are cycling-only.

The term usually implies recreational riding rather than commuting: We spent Saturday morning on the bike trail along the river.
