Longboarding Trails Near Me: How to Pick a Good Route
Smooth pavement, good visibility and manageable hills make a route; paved bike paths and quiet park roads are the usual starting points.
What a good route looks like
Paved bike paths, waterfront promenades, university campuses and quiet park roads are the places to start. They share three traits: smooth surface, long sight lines and little traffic.
Rough asphalt, blind corners and steep hills can wait until braking and turning are both comfortable. A stone you could ignore on a bicycle can stop a small longboard wheel dead.
Walk it first
Walk or cycle a new route once before you ride it. Look for drains, joins in the surface, sand on the corners and any place where the path crosses a road.
Share the path
Ride with lights if it is getting dark, wear protective gear, and give pedestrians the space they expect, especially on shared paths. A friendly call before you pass costs nothing.
