| Old rail routes and canals to be used Interesting little bit. U.K. could convert some old rail routes and canals into bike routes. Makes me wonder how many unused rail routes are here in the U.S. that could be easily converted into bike routes.

It is only about 2.5 miles long, but when it isn't crowded, it is great for doing intervals. |

The C&O Canal Trail in Maryland was originally built, I think, by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Roosevelt administration, and has been popular ever since, even during cycling's low point in the 1950s. I think the New York State Barge Canal towpath was made into a bike path before 1900. If it has been one ever since, it might be about as old as what I thought was the USA's oldest bike path, alongside Ocean Ave, in Brooklyn, NYC, built in 1895. Jeremy Parker London UK |
