Community Maps Project

A collecting point for local knowledge from riders all over the metroplex!

BikeDFW has signed up for a RideWithGPS Tourism Account and we're working hard to fill it with all of your favorite routes. From on-street routes to the grocery store, to epic day-long tours, we're bringing it all together here.
The map below shows our first project, DFW Trails & On-Street connections. The existing off-street or protected bike trails are shown in green. The blue lines are the on-street routes that local riders recommend to get from one trail to another, or to other parts of town. 
  • Off-street Trails
  • On-street Routes
Know Before You Go​
  • Every route in our library was created by an experienced rider.
  • Our volunteers review each route and add notes to the description and cue sheet so that you know what to expect before you hit the road.​

Trails & On-street Connections

The DFW Metroplex has come a long way towards being bike-friendly, but there's still far to go. In the meantime, we've started our Community Maps Project with a collection highlighting the on-street routes favored by experienced riders. 

Some of these are what we're calling Connections, designed to get you from one trail to the next, or from the trail to neighborhood points of interest. Others will simply highlight bike-friendly streets, or parts of streets, that cyclists commonly stitch together to get around, like Swiss Avenue in East Dallas.
​
  • DFW Trails & On-street Connections
    This map shows all of the off-street or protected paths in DFW and all of the on-street routes gathered from the community to fill in the gaps.

​We're starting with just one big map, but as it grows we'll break out regions to make it easier to browse.
Help us fill in the gaps! Send us your favorite on-street routes around town!

Community Routes
