Resources to Plan Your Bike Trips
OpenStreetMap and CyclOSM
OpenStreetMap (OSM) and CyclOSM are great tools for planning bike trips. OSM is a global, community-updated map, while CyclOSM builds on it with bike-specific features and detailed routing.
Transit App
Download the Transit App for iOS or Android—it’s not just for transit riders anymore. The app now includes bike-friendly features like a route planner and turn-by-turn directions.
Strava Heatmap
The Strava Global Heatmap shows where people ride based on public activity. Originally built for recreation, it’s also helpful for planning bike commutes. A Strava account is required for street-level detail.
Want to Bike with Friends?
Local advocacy organization Sweet Streets has a community calendar packed with local group rides. Sweet Streets and Salt Lake City are not affiliated with any events on the calendar unless specifically listed.
Cycle the City
See Salt Lake City by Bike!
Explore Salt Lake City on this 13.5-mile loop—perfect for a half-day ride. Follow signs posted in the preferred direction as you roll through downtown, historic sites, bike lanes, multi-use paths, and some city streets. Riders should be comfortable in city traffic. A steady mile-long climb up City Creek Canyon leads to sweeping views from Bonneville Boulevard, followed by a fun downhill into the valley. The rest of the route is mostly flat.
Bike rentals are available downtown. GREENbike, SLC’s bike share, works well for most of the route, but a lighter bike is ideal for the climb.
