This is how we roll

Last week we took advantage of the lovely weather to hit the trails at Bur-Mil Park.

Here's one of Greensboro's best hidden gems: the free bike loaner program.

All you need is $10 bucks and a picture ID and you'll get an awesome wide-seat cruiser to take riding on their paved trails. You get your deposit back when you return the bike.

The trails are heavily shaded, so even a sunny day is a nice ride. They've got lots of flat spots and little hills, so it's not too tough a ride for a beginner (or someone like me, who probably hasn't ridden a bike in five years.)

It's not one of those fancy 10-speeds, so every pedal push counts. That makes it a terrific work out.

And now that the pool is open for the summer season, you can take a dip afterward.

Check out more info on the bike program here.

Awesome news about the rent a bike. Wish there was a similar program in HP!
