A Bicycle Path in Syracuse
We stopped at Syracuse Bicycle to see what we could get to facilitate getting my wife's new bike, to fit onto a bike rack on our car better.  They had a bar that we attach to the bike so that it will hang on the bike rack similar to the mans style bike.

The Beginning

Then we went to the Bear Trap Creek Bike path.  Parking at the head of the trail is on Seventh North Street.   We went North, along Route 81, 1.6 miles to the backside of Mattydale Plaza.  The path is paved and in good shape.  Beware some speed bumps along the way, however.

Cars on the left, nature on the right

Along the way north, we went over a bridge over the thruway.  The Bear Trap Creek trail was built during improvements to Route 81 in the 1980's.  We had seen the beginning of the path over the years, as it is just before the turn onto Route 81 from 7th North.  But assumed it just ended in a nearby neighborhood.   It was a pleasant surprise.
