Cycling routes along rivers are usually comfortable and easy to follow, which makes them suitable for both beginners and experienced cyclists. They are often flat, and some sections gently descend with the course of the river, allowing for relaxed, steady riding. Many routes also stay away from busy roads and run close to the water, through green and quiet landscapes. Benches, picnic areas and viewpoints are common along the way, providing plenty of opportunities for a break.
