This is a great place to cross the Cedar River. The 16th Avenue Bridge (Bridge of Lions) is a locally renowned bridge that is open to cars, bikes, and pedestrians. You can visit the Czech side and the Slovak side of the town via this bridge. Both sides of the town are interesting, with plenty of shopping and eating places. The best thing for the cyclist, however, is that the views over the Cedar River from here are superb, especially upstream.

Cedar Valley Nature Trail is a 52-mile trail from Cedar Rapids to Waterloo. The trail is paved and moves through a variety of scenery, including woodlands, grassland and along the Cedar River.
