bikeways

Dedicated cycling routes

Bikeways are paths or routes designated for bicycle travel.

The term covers various types—dedicated bike lanes on streets, separated cycle tracks, and shared-use paths through parks.

Urban planners use bikeways to create safer cycling infrastructure: The city added twenty miles of bikeways last year.
