Pinellas Bike Trail

Not incredibly easy to find from where I started (Redington Shores, FL.), but once we found it, it was okay. Not the best scenery but the path was well maintained and easy to ride on. Once you get in town, there are lots of stop signs and crossings. That really killed our momentum and eventually we got off it. I was hoping for better views but it was safe and not a lot of folks on it. (Visited late May on a Sunday between 11-1:30).

Exceptional service from highly competent people for our diesel motorhome. They took excellent care of us while we waited and made sure we could leave the same day. Fair price. We're from Canada and they took great care of us. I highly recommand them.

The Pinellas Trail is an impressive 45-mile path that offers a unique way to see the area, but it comes with several urban challenges that potential riders should keep in mind. The Experience: The trail winds through various metro areas, which makes for a scenic and diverse ride, but it also means navigating numerous road crossings. Be prepared for a "stop and go" rhythm; at some major intersections, you may find yourself waiting at stoplights for up to five minutes. On the positive side, local car traffic is generally very respectful and frequently stops for pedestrians and cyclists. Congestion and Safety: The trail becomes significantly congested after 3:00 PM. During these peak hours, the lack of trail etiquette becomes a major issue. Many users fail to follow standard rules such as keeping right, riding single file, or announcing passes on the left. You are likely to encounter: Groups riding three-abreast, blocking the path. Motorbikes weaving through traffic. Electric skateboarders and scooters swaying across the trail, making it difficult to overtake safely. Areas for Improvement: The trail would benefit greatly from increased police presence or official trail monitors to manage "troublemakers" and enforce safety rules. Implementing a "user pass" system for bikes, boards, and scooters could help fund these monitors and ensure that fines are issued to those who ignore the rules of the road. Overall: It is a wonderful trail in concept and layout, but the lack of courtesy and enforcement currently prevents it from being a truly pleasant journey during busy times. Proceed with caution if you are looking for a relaxing, uninterrupted ride

I rode the bike trail from Tarpon Springs down to Dunedin. It was a very pretty ride. Very well maintained Trail and quite a few people on it. People both on bikes and walking.

Great paved bike and walking trail. What an asset to all of the communities it runs through. We rode from Palm Harbor to downtown Dunedin. There were numerous crossings and bridges. It was a great ride, with lots to see along the way. There are plenty of stops including parks, restaurants, bars, wineries and breweries to name a few. We really enjoyed the ride.
