What's wrong with bike paths? I ask as someone who lives in an area with very few bike paths.
As far as exploring remote areas, I live not far from a rail trail which is fun to ride, and you do go through some very remote areas. The great thing is that, except where it intersects a road or a street here or there, you don't have to worry about traffic.
