11. These bike trails are beautiful to explore.
Springtime (and summer!) makes for the perfect biking weather. Nashville now has the option to rent bikes throughout the city, so you may want to check out where your local hub is. You can even buy a monthly membership to save that moolah and go biking THAT much more.
