BikeMap, a free app for iOS and Android, as well as a website, is a good resource both for planning local bike routes and locating bike paths, greenways and lanes where you live. Once again, a good local bike shop will have recommendations for different types of riding. This will require a bit of additional equipment, too — a bell and blinking visibility lights for the front and back of your bike. Maybe you’ll notice hills you never had to think about before. So getting on a bike might make you more aware of this, too, if you aren’t already.
