Bike trails for people with one gear

Somewhere along the way, cycling got rebranded as a sport, and everyone with a perfectly good bike in the garage quietly resigned. The flat trail is the counter-argument: riverside paths, rail trails and waterfront loops where the only objective is being outside faster than walking allows.

The one-gear philosophy

Pick a trail with no meaningful hills, pack food, and set the turnaround point at a café or a swimming spot rather than a distance. The ride should have a destination, not a training goal. Two hours of that beats any gym session you were never going to do anyway.
