Bike Traverse City

Traverse City Is One of Michigan’s Best Places to Bike — Every Day

Whether you're commuting to work, running errands, or just enjoying a scenic ride, Traverse City makes it easy to get around by bike. With a strong outdoor culture and an ever-growing network of trails, it's a City built for two wheels.

The well-connected system of bike-friendly streets and multi-use paths, including the TART Trail, the Boardman Lake Loop, and other routes, links neighborhoods, schools, Downtown TC, and parks. Riders can travel across much of the City, making a convenient and enjoyable choice for daily transportation.

The City actively partners with area organizations to expand and enhance the network, investing in safer intersections, protected bike lanes, and trail connections that bring us closer to a truly seamless, City‑wide system.
