10 Ways to Truly Enjoy Your Bike Rides
I've been thinking. Usually, that's dangerous. But this time I was thinking about the different types of cyclists in the world. And I came up with my own personalized list of rules for how to get the most out of your cycling experience. You might not track with every point on my list...but I'd bet the family farm that most of my guidelines or suggestions will serve you well and increase your enjoyment of cycling. Of course, that's a safe bet for me...because I don't have a family farm. But you get the idea. Just think of this as Ten Friendly Suggestions on how to find joy in the journey!

In Morganton, North Carolina, there's a pretty greenway that follows alongside the mighty Catawba River. We'll explore that bike path on this edition of Joyful Trails, and we'll also take in a lot of history. There's American Indian history here, as the trail passes right by a re-creation of a "Native American" village from 500 years ago. There's also a storied courthouse, Civil War history, an...

    Personally, I think the difference between bikepacking and touring is a matter of off trail vs. on a road (or paved trail). Bikepackers carry their gear in packs that are designed to be "in-line" with the width of a bike. They can't afford to have packs hanging off either side of he bike and getting caught up on twigs, branches, briers, etc. Tourists are on roads....so they can make use of panniers.

    Great video! I grew up in Maryville (I'm 57 now). My old junior high school football coach is now in the government of Blount County and I sent this video to him and asked him to look into the complaints you had regarding the Greenway. He responded a few weeks later saying "working on this ".

    Thanks for filming it. All desired info is in the narrative. It's the trail I ride the most in Charlotte, and there are a lot of trails in Charlotte. My best friend is an economist living in Charlotte, also a bike rider, so I visit him often, and ride all the trails I can find. This one is my favorite.

    I like the bike trails mostly to myself, therefore I ride the city trails on the weekdays and the country trails on the weekends and holidays. This way the ride is always fun and natural. I also report fallen trees to the park rangers and crews, so they can be cleaned up quickly and keep the trails cleared.

    Wearing the "biking costume" has kept me from buying a bicycle for doing recreational cycling To me it looks ridiculous and pretentious As a native Tennessean Al Gore Jr. turned out so disappointing as a Senator. He is now in California where is a better fit. He has none of the common man sensibilities that Albert Gore senior had.

      @joyfultrails 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      There's a cyclist in Colorado that is a far left guy...I don't agree with his politics AT ALL but I can still enjoy his videos. In fact, he was a major inspiration for me deciding to do this. So hopefully you guys can overlook... "Woke indoctrination center" is my nickname for pretty much all colleges and universities. Even the very liberal Bill Maher admits that academia is so far left these days that parents would be shocked to know what their kids are actually being taught at these places. There are a few schools that are conservative (like Hillsdale and Liberty) and a handful that play it right down the middle...but very few. I always go on the school's website and have a look around before I give them the WIC label. Usually within 3 or 4 clicks it's confirmed. But hey...I try not to major on anything political on this channel. At the most, there will be a snide or sarcastic passing remark now and then.
