Biking on trails and greenways

[Cat]

I just bought a bike yesterday and we took it out on the Mallard Creek green way which was pretty long and a lot of fun. Too long for our almost seven year old. Any tips or trail recommendations? We hope to bike on our own (adults) and some with our kid.

I've never been to any other greenways. Are the others mostly paved and shaded like Mallard Creek is?

Most people ride on the streets not the green ways. Get with the crowd and ride on the road along 55 mph 5000lbs missiles wizzing by.

There is a trail at north meck park that's pretty easy and easy to cut through if he gets tired. A creek runs through it my boys like playing in.

We have a greenway up here that winds around town. The branch by me is 1.1 miles which is good for kids and a puppy. There are longer stretches around. But most people ride their bikes on the roads.

Not worth making a trip for but if you are up here you can start or finish in downtown and have lunch.

Speaking of which, we got 4-7 inches of rain on Friday night. Went walking on the greenway on Saturday and the watermarks from flooding were literally shoulder high. Lots of dead fish laying around.

Crazy! 

There were downed trees on the Mallard Creek Greenway and lots of mud. Made for a lot of dirty fun.

Westfield to ~7th street along Sugar Creek is fantastic.

Is that a safe area?

Compared to Sudan? Yes

I ride the Mallard Creek Greenway quite a bit with my daughter. It is rather long but it's a nice ride and lots of shade. Whenever there is a heavy rain that place floods bad. That creek overflows and the greenway fills up with about 10 ft of water over near were Cookout is. The water literally reaches up to the bridge where 29 crosses it.  .
