Narrow concrete path. Don't drive over it in the afternoon, it's busy then.

Perfect for racing bike and gravel bike. Find a good time. If it is busy here you have to watch out for other cyclists because the path is very narrow. Avoid on the racing bike in the weekends with nice weather. The speed differences are really too big then.
