Educational bike trails are only at the beginning stages of marked bike trails. Just like in the case of educational trails for pedestrian hikers, there was a similar need for thematic trails for bikers which would connect local attractions or lead through interesting natural, historical or regional locations. In comparison with the educational hiking trails, the advantage of the educational bike trails is that the distances between interesting locations can be longer, because visitors use bikes to travel them.  However, compared to the hiking trails, the bike trails usually do not have such developed infrastructure of educational panels on the trails.
