Overview

About this collection

A short, flat workaround for when the main greenway is blocked. It’s about 5.7 km and almost entirely paved (mostly asphalt), so any bike will do. The line uses quiet roads for most of the way, a short stretch of dedicated cycleway, and roughly half a kilometer on busier traffic—ride confident, or time it for quieter periods. Climbing is minimal (about 4 m up, 3 m down), making it an easy spin in either direction. You’ll briefly pass an access road and a tiny pedestrian area—roll slow and give way. Good for everyday trips and families with road-savvy kids. Expect local signage to vary, so follow your map and rejoin the greenway at either end.
