What I built

One map for the whole path

The paved path from West Main out to Pisgah Forest, the sidewalks and quiet streets that join it, and the places worth riding to along the way. Every line was ridden, and every adventure photo is mine.

Who it's for

Families first. Riders and visitors too.

Riding with kids?

Short routes with a playground or an ice cream stop built in, so little riders get a win before they get tired.

Featured ride: Playground to Dolly's

Here to ride?

Demo a bike at one of Brevard's shops and take it from the shop to the path and straight out to Pisgah. A real test ride, with no bike rack and no trailhead parking.

Featured ride: Gateway to Pisgah

Here for the breweries?

Leave the car at the hotel. The Taproom Traverse strings the taprooms in town together on the bike path.

Featured ride: Taproom Traverse

About

Hi, I'm Sarah!

I'm a local mom who built a mobile app for our bike path. My daughter Em and I have ridden it since she was eight months old, to preschool, to the pool, to playground meet-ups and, always, to ice cream.

I'd love it if you gave the app a try and told me what you think.
