Ken Larsen's web site - Biking
I own two bikes and a bike rack and occasionally take a friend to the "south of I-40" portion of the nearby American Tobacco Trail (ATT) to bike up to 26 miles. It's a fabulous "rails-to-trails" path.
Here's a picture taken on the Wake County section of the ATT in 2009:
