How far are your typical bicycle outings?

Our survey says...

Our last trailsnet poll was the most successful one so far. We had a lot of participation. In the end, the mountains were the clear favorite bike trail destination. And the mountains are a beautiful place for biking. But I have a feeling that if more people knew about some of the great bike trails found on the plains, in the cities, and alongside beaches, the vote may have been closer. Personally, I was glad to have the opportunity to vote in more than one category, because I love biking all over the place.

Which brings us to our brand new trailsnet poll over there at the top of the left-hand column. How far do you ride your bike in a typical bicycle outing? Once again, you're allowed to vote for more than one choice or choose the ubiquitous "lengths may vary" option. The unique thing about this month's poll is that it applies to both trail bikers and road bikers.

Take a whopping couple seconds to vote in the trailsnet "poll-o-the-month." We want to hear from you!!

What country has the best biking trails?

Bike trails are awesome and travel is one of the world's most popular pastimes. More and more people are beginning to combine their passions of bike riding and travel into the growing market of active travel.

Where in the world can you find
the best bike trails?

After all, what's not to love about:

• staying fit
• exploring uncrowded countrysides
• being environmentally responsible
• staying safe
• meeting locals and fellow travelers
• seeing unique places that are less traveled
• getting to know the true flavor of a country
• saving money

These are all benefits of traveling via bicycle on the trail networks of various countries.

So now it's your chance to vote on which country you think has the best bicycle trails in our monthly trailsnet poll found at the top of the left hand margin in this blog. If you're undecided, that's okay; you can choose more than one. If you don't see the country of your choice, feel free to tick (as our friends in England would say) the box next to "other" and then leave a comment with the name of your favorite bike trail country.

In fact, no matter what country you choose, we'd love to hear why you think it's the best bike trail country. Leave a comment explaining your choice. Heck, you may win some converts to the bike trail country of your choice.
