If bicycling along the scenic countryside is getting a little ho-hum, Bicycle Adventures offers an alternative. The outfitter just began the Urban Adventure Series, four-day trips designed for the city lover — this year in Seattle; Portland and Bend, Ore.; and New York City.
"You can see, hear and smell the city up close, and it's so easy to stop, hop off and explore a shop or a cafe, have a conversation or admire art or city culture," Todd Starnes, the owner of Bicycle Adventures, said in a release.
The Seattle trip includes the urban and suburban Burke-Gilman Trail; the John Wayne Pioneer Trail, east of town; and of course the waterfront, including Pike Place Market. A ferry ride over to Bainbridge Island takes cyclists to Classic Cycle to check out its vintage bike museum.
Portland riders will hit the Eastbank Esplanade path and the West Hills neighborhood for a skyline view, stopping along the way to smell the barley at Velocult, a bike shop, taproom, coffee house, and more.
The Bend Breakaway visits microbreweries, boutiques and galleries in nearby Sisters, and features rides surrounded by snow-capped peaks. Guests also have the opportunity to bike to McKenzie Pass, one of central Oregon's most spectacular scenic byways.
The spring tour of New York City starts with an introduction to Manhattan, a ride around Central Park and a Broadway show, and ends on May 4 with the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, said to be the world's biggest recreational bike ride, with about 32,000 participants. Riders pedal through all five boroughs on streets totally free of automobile traffic.
Rates for the three West Coast trips are $1,984 per person, double, and the New York trip is $2,495 per person, which includes bikes, lodging and most meals.
