There are some beautiful views of the lake, it’s true, and stopping to swim later on the ride is great. But starting in this section leaving Lucerne, there is a LOT of construction. About every .25 km at least, which leads to frequent detours. And that’s just the beginning with this ride, in fact a significant part takes you through suburban neighborhoods, industrial zones, (virtual) highways, and other areas that are simply not very pleasant to ride in. Add to that, the bike path itself is CONSTANTLY CHANGING. First it’s bike + walk, now bike on the street, now back on the path but it’s bi direction, now the bi directional is on the other side. Seriously, it’s maddening. I would like to know what masochists rated this ride so well (I think I know, they passed us wearing all black spandex and wrap around shades). But for the people who just want a nice visit to the lake, do yourself a favor and skip this convoluted ride amongst whizzing cars and trucks on narrow roads.
