Tommy Thompson Parkway is a great car-free route out to March Point, with nice water views along the trestle. But heads up—seagulls drop shells here to crack them open, leaving sharp debris that’s notorious for causing flats. Ride with caution, and if you’re on skinny tires, consider walking your bike across the worst sections.
