Bike TN Route Planning & Design: Bike Tennessee’s collection of road cycling routes have been crafted in collaboration with a professional cycling guide and developer, Shannon Burke of Velo View Bike Tours in Chattanooga. The routes feature mostly rural, low-traffic cycling experiences in some of Tennessee’s most scenic and historic landscapes including multiple state parks.
All roads suggested are regular roads of the state, county, and city highway systems and are used by motorized traffic. Designated bicycle facilities may or may not be present.
