Progress is being made with some interesections accouting for bike traffic. Hope this helps keep you safe and riding more!<\/p>\n<p><b>Bicycling Around Hilo Town<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These roads run across town, generally parallel to ocean: Kamehameha, Kinoole, Kilauea, Kapiolani, Akolea<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These downtown roads get you mauka and generally run perpendicular to ocean: Wainuenue, Ponohawai<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the mall side of town, these roads trend mauka too: Puainako, Kawailani, Hai Hai<\/span><\/li>\n<li>These roads are connector roads. M<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">onono, Kawili,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Cycling Across Downtown &#8211; Bicycling Parallel to Ocean (Generally)<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kalanianaole<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has a dedicated bike lane. The land has drainage grids embedded in it, but they are fairly new so can be road over. Traffic moves fast and there is a considerable amount of semi-trucks that travel on the road.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second route is to use the Hilo Bayfront Trails bike path that runs from the bus depot downtown to the canoe outrigger landing that ends at the mouth of Wailoa River. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When accessing the trail from the bus depot ignore the gate. The path is open for both pedestrians and bicyclists mult-purpose use. The Hilo bike path meanders in front of the shore through soccer fields; crosses Kamehameha Avenue and Aupuni intersection; and ends in Hilo Bayfront Park.<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Wailoa River can be crossed on the left side of Kamehameha Ave. It&#8217;s the wrong direction and probably not the safest, but there is a wide area on the side of the bridge sorta dedicated to pedestrian and bicyclist traffic. Once across, be careful of drivers turning right from Lehiwai St. onto Kamehameha Ave.\u00a0 Bicyclists <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">either pop on the sidewalk (not technically allowed) or traverse across the intersection and then take a left turn onto Lehiwai St<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0 Take next right onto Banyon Dr. where you can ride along Liliuokalani Park to Ice Pond\/Reeds Bay. At Reed Bay, turning onto Banyon Way and then onto Kalanianaole Ave. where you can get onto the bike route to Richardsons. Most traffic in this area is leisure and respectful.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Cycling Around Waiakea Ponds\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The area around Waiakea Villas, Hilo Shopping Center, Monono is difficult to ride smoothly, safely and efficiently. None of it is particularly bicycle friendly. However, if you\u2019re just cruising around, there are side streets and shortcuts to make it more interesting and fun. If you\u2019re out for a more athletic workout, stick to the main routes, or head out of town.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:30px\"><\/div><div class=\"vcex-image-grid-wrap wpex-clr\"><div class=\"vcex-module vcex-image-grid wpex-clr grid-style-default wpex-row gap-1 wpex-lightbox-group\"><div class=\"id-243 vcex-image-grid-entry vcex-grid-item textcenter span_1_of_3 col col-1\"><figure class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-figure wpex-last-mb-0 wpex-clr\"><div class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-img entry-media wpex-mb-20\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiibybike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hilo-6225.jpg\" class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-img wpex-lightbox-group-item\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wpex-align-middle\" src=\"https:\/\/hawaiibybike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hilo-6225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"id-244 vcex-image-grid-entry vcex-grid-item textcenter span_1_of_3 col col-2\"><figure class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-figure wpex-last-mb-0 wpex-clr\"><div class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-img entry-media wpex-mb-20\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiibybike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hilo-8743.jpg\" class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-img wpex-lightbox-group-item\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wpex-align-middle\" src=\"https:\/\/hawaiibybike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hilo-8743.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"id-248 vcex-image-grid-entry vcex-grid-item textcenter span_1_of_3 col col-3\"><figure class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-figure wpex-last-mb-0 wpex-clr\"><div class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-img entry-media wpex-mb-20\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hawaiibybike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hilo-3335.jpg\" class=\"vcex-image-grid-entry-img wpex-lightbox-group-item\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wpex-align-middle\" src=\"https:\/\/hawaiibybike.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/hilo-3335.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:30px\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1uSzeki_R4-3Z9nuXLh4NTcQIr37cP_pr\" width=\"100%\" height=\"700\"><\/iframe>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;226&#8243;][vc_column_text]In my attempt to make bicycling Hilo more friendly, I created this map of bike routes, bike lanes, wider shoulders, less frequented roads, and generally how to get around Hilo by bicycle.\u00a0 Most of the time, shoulders, lanes and&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":226,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.6 -
