At the start of this pandemic, we released a walking tour map that shows you some of Provo’s best examples of walkability and areas for improvement. We’ve done the same thing for biking. And today, we’re sharing that map with you.
This route primarily uses Provo’s low-stress bike network and is designed to be comfortable for people of all experience levels. It showcases bike routes from the low speed and low traffic bicycle boulevard on 300 West to protected bike lanes on Cougar Boulevard. We encourage you to go ride it with family and friends today!
