East Coast Greenway Alliance

Here's motivation to pull the bicycle out of the garage: The East Coast Greenway (ECG), a bike trail that will extend 3,000 miles from Maine to Florida upon completion, is about 31 percent complete, reports The Atlantic's CityLab. So if you happen to be in the East Coast, there are already about 850 miles of trail ready for you to explore.

Given that the trail is only about a third complete and that the nonprofit behind the trail has been working on it since 1991, it may be awhile before the trail is finished. However, this promo video makes the existing paths look pretty great.

When finished, the ECG will run through 450 municipalities in 15 states. And there are already over 10 million people using it annually, according to CityLab.

It's nice outside and biking is eco-friendly and good exercise, so consider hopping on the trail if you happen to be passing through the area. As it's the entire East Coast, there's a good chance you will be.
