Bicycling in Marana
Bike TrailThe Town of Marana recognizes the growing need and responsibility to provide opportunities for people to bike within the Town and we have made the commitment to ensure that current and future planning accommodates this need on a local and regional level. We are taking steps not only to increase awareness of bicycling within our community, but also to ensure that thoughtful planning is taking place to provide the appropriate infrastructure and facilities to accommodate bicycling as a means of transportation as well as recreation. Our goals include developing and maintaining an integrated system of bikeways and ensuring safe and convenient bicycle access throughout the Town. We are striving to make bicycling an integral part of daily life in Marana.

Bicycling is a viable non-polluting mode of transportation that utilizes a renewable energy source – the human body. Riding your bike reduces pollution and traffic congestion and comes with a multitude of health benefits. The U.S. Center for Disease Control states that the most effective activity regimens are moderate in intensity, individualized, and incorporated into daily activity. Incorporating bicycling into your regular daily routine such as the commute to work, school, or shopping can be both sustainable and time efficient and a great way to reduce stress, improve fitness, and clear the mind.
