Whether you are arriving at a sprawling international airport in St. Louis or a quiet strip in rural Maine, one of your chief concerns is how to get from the airport to the hotel, restaurant, or other attractions you might want to visit. Taxis and rideshares are fine, but when truly exploring a new place, often what you want is a bicycle.
You can bring a bike with you, sure. But the good news is that a growing number of airports and nearby shops offer bikes that pilots can rent or even borrow for a ride into town or to check out local trails. The trails themselves have also become more plentiful and accessible in the past several years as groups like the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy continue to expand, maintain, and improve the network of trails built on former railroad rights of way.
