The Olentangy and Lower Scioto Bikeways have been a recreational fixture in Columbus, Ohio for many years. But recent times have seen the blossoming of a parallel bikeway route to the east along the Alum Creek.

Area trails are growing on several fronts and much of this expansion is spurred on by Ohio-to-Erie Trail construction which will utilize local bikeways to make its way through the capital city. It will approach from the southwest by way of the Prairie Grass Trail and exit to the northeast using the Genoa Township Trail in Westerville. In between it will utilize a portion of the Scioto and the I-670 Bikeway to connect to the Alum Creek and lead cyclists due north to Westerville and the Genoa Trail.
Major bike routes are not the only trail options in the Columbus area. The City park network also has trails within its borders as do some of the suburbs, such as Westerville and Dublin!
Two good resources for Columbus Area Trail info are Central Ohio Greenways and Columbus Greenways.
