I lived just off The Loop for 12 years and logged thousands of miles on it during my time there. Tucson is great if you prefer a bike over a car as your primary means of transportation. Everything I needed was a short bike ride or walk on The Loop; it was probably the best use of taxpayer money in the history of Pima County.
Totally agree, the Loop is awesome for so many reasons! Really appreciate you visiting the channel!
I always go on the loop at night especially in the summer 😭
Definitely saw alot of cyclists during my vacation. Even up on Mt. Lemmon! So pleasant!
Yes, I would be afraid to cycle up Catalina Highway…but people do it all the time!!! 😬😁 Thanks for visiting the channel!
Thumbs up! Great video, I was not aware of the "Loop", and it's one more of many reasons to enjoy Tucson!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed The video and learned a little bit about one of the coolest things about Tucson! 🥰
What an amazing place! Everyone should move to tucson!
Thanks! I agree! I love it here! ❤️
I love the loop in Tucson and my bike love it too.
Isn’t it amazing?!?! So cool that we have that here in our city!!!
Very beautiful video thank you for sharing New friend.
So glad you enjoyed!
Great video!! Love the bicycling footage.. it looks fun.
Thanks so much! My daughter was the star of the show! 😆
Love it!
Thanks for checking out the channel!!! 🌵🌵🌵
We Have A lot of Mountain Bike Trails Also, I love Riding The Loop. There is a Crested Saguaro next to 1 part of the Loop Just West Of Trader Joes.
I’ll have to check it out! Thanks so much for the view and comment!
@@TucsonArizona if your heading west on the Loop from Trader Joe's it will be on the South Side of The wash. Or you can watch my video of it lol.
Wow!!
Thanks for your review and comment!
I like the south harrison side becuse i live near harrison
I like that area of the Loop as well. It’s nice 👍 Thanks So much for checking out the channel and for the view and comment!
Hello. We are a family planning to move to Tucson, I would like to read your comments on suggestions for renting places (house or apartments) to live close to the loop... are there schools or high schools close to the loop? I have a 18 and 12 children.... Besides, which places along the loop do you recommend us for living? Thanks a lot. I have already subscribed to your channel. Excellent videos for people willing to go there!!!!
Hi there thank you for reaching out! Did you receive my email? Was able to answer most of your questions? Unfortunately, I do not do rentals, but I sent some links an additional information that I think would be helpful. Thank you and have a great day!
Enjoyed your video. 2 questions -- can you order a copy of the map from Pima Maps and where/what part of the city would be your suggestion for hotel/motels choices if riding the loop was a main part of a trip to Tucson ? Keep up the great videos.
Thanks for the view and comment! You may want to consider staying somewhere near or off of River Road, (in between La Cholla to Craycroft), because in addition to the Loop, you will have easy access to restaurants, shopping, other small businesses, and really nice parks.
I’m not sure if you can purchase maps anywhere, although you probably can… But they are easy to download online and they change often because certain areas are often under construction and being built. I hope you enjoy your trip here! 😎🌵☀️
Wow that is cool
Glad you enjoyed!
Are electric bikes allowed? Or maybe a half pedal/half electric?
That is how I would get to work so I’m verrrry curious 🤞 Thanks !
As long as they are pedal assist, e-bikes are legal on The Tucson Loop! 😁
@@TucsonArizona Amazing news! Thank you sm!
I am trying to convince my friend that the loop is safe. I've gone to the police site and it seems to only be by neighborhood and street. How do I find crime stats on the loop?
I haven’t seen anything specifically for the loop to be honest.🙁
I camped on The Loop for months lol
Can you help me if you can't there for months? I'm trying to convince my friend that the loop is safe I've walked it for many years but I can't find crime statistics or even anecdotal evidence that there is any or a small amount or much crime on any part of the loop. Would you mind commenting on what you experienced and saw?
cool did the first tour de tucson did noy win but got the t-shirt cfc
Cool! Do you still have the t shirt???
no darn it@@TucsonArizona
The loop isn't a good place to ride if you are an older resident or a tourist since ebikes are not legally permitted, although the level of enforcement isn't clear. If you are a resident you are stuck with Tucson's poorly paved streets; if you are a older tourist who is worried about committing a class 2 misdemeanor you can seek out a more ebike friendly place to visit.
It’s true that anything electric (E bikes and E scooters) aren’t supposed to be used on the loop, but they can be used downtown and in other places in the city. The loop is really nice for cyclists and pedestrians and even skateboarders, roller skaters and roller bladers, and even horseback riders.
@@TucsonArizona Why would anyone (except for commuting) want to bike in downtown in traffic, and on Tucson's poorly paved secondary and tertiary roads, when the alternative is many miles of scenic, well-paved Loop bike path? The supervisors' ban on ebikes is a solution looking for a problem. If there is any danger on the Loop it is younger cyclists riding lightweight road bikes faster than traffic conditions permit, certainly much faster than the maximum 15 mph speeds achieved by most older ebike riders. If my memory is correct in the past there was a posted 15 mph speed limit on Rillito Rover portion of the Loop. THAT was a sensible rule!
Plenty of people use ebikes on the Loop. Just ride like a person on a bicycle and not someone riding a moped. Throttling around will most likely get you some attention while pedaling around under 15 mph would help you blend in. If you need an ebike for mobility issues, I would suggest having some sort of documentation of your disability if you are worried about getting stopped. I think The Loop used a broad brush when prohibiting all classes of ebikes because of how hard it is to enforce. I'm guessing the real concern is people riding ebikes/one wheels/scooters in a manner that makes it uncomfortable for pedestrians and acoustic cyclers. A LOT of ebikes are fat tire bikes with rear hub motors and knobby tires which makes them loud and can detract from the peace of The Loop.
Thank you!
@@BikeLaveen
"acoustic cyclers" I love that term. I've also seen the name "analog bikes".
The official policy is that pedal assist e-bikes are allowed on the 53 mile main loop but not throttle equipped. So a 20 mph class 2 e-bike would violate the policy but a 28 mph pedal assist class 3 would be fine.
In California they split the bikes by speed instead of equipment, so class 1 and 2 are legal on mixed use trails, but the faster class 3 and 4 are not.
Although again, if you keep the speed down the police can't tell how fast your bike is capable of.
And we don't have anything on the level of the Loop system here in San Diego.
Lots of bums in the river, I don’t think the no camping rules apply to everyone.
Is it hilly? I like to climb hills but afraid to ride the roads anymore
Not too hilly but there are some ups and downs. Not very steep at all
Does anyone know if Class 1 or 2 e-bikes are allowed on the loop? I'm an older rider with bad joints and peddle assist brought me back to biking.
Hi there, unfortunately I don’t know the answer for sure but most of what I found online when I searched this topic said that e bikes are not allowed, but most of what I read were opinion articles and I didn’t find anything official. Hopefully another person reading this, can perhaps answer this question? Thank you for the view and comment! Good question! ☺️
She mentioned "no motorized vehicles", but I'm sure there is more info online.
You’re absolutely right. There are several links to the maps and online info in the description below the video. Thanks for checking out the channel! 🌵
Apparently, all motorized vehicles, including all levels of electric bikes are prohibited...that's a major bummer and will keep me off of the loop.
May as they go along they will make a path for those
camping is not allowed except for the homeless which abound.
Ebikes aren't allowed.i will not be visiting.
