some bike parts. Also, if you have your own bike, it’s

you green trails for beginner paths that you may want to
explore. Don’t rely on them because these maps are not
updated based on difficulty. Always ask experts and
experienced bikers on site where the beginner trails are.
These might change a bit every year thanks to the
weather and the condition of the trails after thaw.
