We’re all familiar with bike paths and cycle routes in cities that were designed as an afterthought by town planners who have no clue about cycling infrastructure. But there are some incredible bicycle paths around the world which are amazing, and you should add to your bucket list. James takes us through his favourites, which ones have we missed?

What's the coolest bike route you've ridden? Let us known 👇
did he say whores-riders?
check out kettle valley railroad in bc canada.
Craziest? 2nd ave in Manhattan. A near death experience every few minutes. It's crazy but not in a good way.
Dont review it based on pictures, go there, film there, cheapskates! 😀
Has anyone here cycled the South Downs Way on a gravel bike?
For me, it’d have to be a mountain bike
Riding means getting closer to nature and even being a part of it. So, I guess riding along the trials of Himalayas is the best part of my country. Lots of love from nepal 🇳🇵
I can't believe you didn't have this on the list! The submerged bike path thru a lake in Limburg, Belgium; https://youtu.be/sO2U3SqI5Uk
Natchez Trace
It would be great if you did a UK only video with best routes
Any cycle path/lane in Tampere, Finland. You can go alongside the North lake with views of the iconic landmarks, rapids, lake (frozen sometimes), forest, pretty neighbourhoods (Pispala) etc… or the one one that follows the south lake, with views of rapids, football stadium, forest, arboretum, frozen lake. Or the eastern route. From the city centre 23KM to another town, whilst passing several lakes and ending at a pier in Kangasala by the lake.
Monsal Trail, from near Buxton to Bakewell in the Peaks is a stunning bike trail- not road bike worthy, more city, gravel or MTB bike worthy.
3:20 Draw Jopping?
Drawer dropping?
Have a look at this 24Km bike way on the sea. It is Liguria (Italy) between San Remo and San Lorenzo. https://www.pistaciclabile.com/
the mudabidi cycle path in aus
Canada!!!!
Maps, guys. Maps.
Check out “The Loop” , Tucson AZ
If you ask me…..
In the US, one near Atlanta, GA, The Silver Comet Trail that runs 100km from the outskirts of Atlanta to the Alabama border and then hooks up withanother trail for 50km further into Alabama, https://www.silvercometga.com/. And another one in South Dakota, The Mickleson Trail, that runs 175km through the beautiful Black Hills, https://www.mickelsontrailaffiliates.com/trail-info.
if you ask me… WHO ELSE COULD WE ASK?????? You are the only one on the screen! so I'm asking you: what's a "draw jawpping"? 3:21
You have to add the epic WRIAD (White Rim In A Day) it's a 100 miles in Moad Utah USA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UjYZDc4C14
I live about 30 minutes away from a section of The Great Trail in Northern Ontario! I've even ridden some of it before!
Lets be honest we all love cycling videos this is just what I need to get it going the blood I love it. I always watch these before I go out and get my body moving. I love when I always watch one of these, and then put up my heavy playlist I love like Delta Parole and then I just go haaaaard!!!! Tactic hasnt let me down yet.
Some epic rides there. I doubt there are many people who can say they've ridden all 27,000km of The Great Trail! I definitely want to check out the South Downs Way next time I'm back in England – surprised there is over 5000m of climbing in a trail in England, but the views look great.
What about west highland cycle route in Scotland.
Any route through the Netherlands is fantastic
Eh!!! Thumbs up for the Great Trans. Canada Trail, I've cycled parts of it in the Ottawa areas. 👍👍
Hi Guys. Looks Great. Canada is my goal for 2021. Thank you. Check this out too. 2 best bike trails in Poland

Hope you enjoy it and you are welcome:)
Hi James. Would you review La Ruta de los Conquistadores in Costa Rica? It's a bit rural but you might like it. Also as a joke, ruta 27 in Costa Rica! Para conocedores.
