Actually, when I started this thread a few years ago, I didn't intend for it to be about roads with little or no motor traffic. I wanted to hear about streets and roads that people enjoy riding on,...

I like gravel too, although it can get a bit hairy on downhills and when there's ice or slush.

That's probably the reason most of us, including Machka, didn't post commute pictures. When we're hurrying to work, or eager to get home, the last thing on our minds is to stop and snap pictures.

There's a small error in my posts about parking in my downtown area. It is perpendicular parking, not angle or diagonal parking. I think this might be a little worse for cyclists. The traffic lanes...

What streets do you like to ride on?

We just had an interesting thread about protected bike lanes. But most of us are stuck with plain old streets and highways--or even prefer them.
