Is there a specific route or trail you want to hit up this summer? A distance or fitness goal of some sort? Planning a bicycle tour? Bikepacking?
Please share, I’m curious to see what all of you are getting up to for this summer!

I’m looking to break into biking, I’ve got a great bike setup available through my dad. I tried it previously but I wasn’t open to it because of the other sports I was already involved in. What’s a good way to break into biking / find trails to go on?
It really depends on what kind of cycling you want do to! Is it for transportation, for leisure, for exercise? Do you want to be on roads or more out in nature?
Personally, I got into cycling by using it at first as a means of transportation. Going to work, getting groceries, meeting up with friends. Eventually I realized how much I enjoyed it and just started going for aimless rides around town, just exploring unfamiliar neighbourhoods and discovering new places at a leisurely pace. Then I started wanting to explore outside my town, so I started doing longer distances, including overnighters, and then got into the idea of touring…
At the end of the day, the best way to break into biking is to make sure you enjoy the kind of biking you do!
Trailforks is a great way to find trails.
