Hiking, Biking & Trail Guide - 50

URBAN BIKING
Looking for a cycling experience that's more urban than off-road? There are plenty of
ways to have fun on two wheels throughout the city - here are some of our favorites:
Explore the Indian Bend Wash Greenbelt: The Indian Bend Wash Greenbelt is an oasis
of parks, lakes, golf courses and paved, shared-use trails that stretches 11 miles through
the heart of the city. Riders can access the greenbelt at almost any point, and its 24
grade-separated crossings allow users to easily avoid major cross traffic. This worldrenowned
flood control project is one of the top urban " green spaces " in the state.
Take the Self-Guided Mountain Vista Bike Tour: The Mountain Vista Route is a 2.3-mile
loop that begins and ends by the banyan tree at Main Street and Brown Avenue in Old
Town. The route includes two stops where mountain views are framed within interpretive
art panels that tell the story of the peaks on display.
Rent an Electric Bike: Old Town's Pedego Scottsdale rents top-of-the-line electric bikes that
are easy and fun to ride. Do as much (or as little) pedaling as you'd like while you explore
the area's galleries, restaurants and shops. For an urban ride on the edges of the Sonoran
Desert, head to Pedego McDowell Mountain. They can recommend routes within the
DC Ranch and McDowell Mountain Ranch communities that give you easy access to
restaurants and amenities while serving up spectacular Sonoran Desert views.
