Two Wheels & Six Million Acres
Why the Adirondacks are made for cycling.
The Adirondack Park covers six million acres and contains thousands of miles of roads, trails, and scenic corridors. Yet many visitors experience only a tiny fraction of what the region has to offer.
Cycling changes that.
A bicycle moves fast enough to cover meaningful distance but slowly enough to appreciate the landscape. Riders notice the smell of balsam after a summer rain, hear loons calling across remote lakes, and discover quiet roads that most visitors never find.
Bike Adirondacks owner Doug Haney caught up with the ADK Taste podcast to explain why cycling has grown dramatically in recent years and why the Adirondacks offer something increasingly difficult to find elsewhere: authentic adventure without overwhelming crowds.
