Gothenburg, Sweden.

Like come on the path was meant to follow where the desire path is but instead it’s a sharp right turn like ew

This path was created when they first planted it all, I guess nobody bothered to patch it up

The paved road right next to it is just an intolerably smooth ride.

Feast your eyes, multiple bike desire paths, close to Utrecht, Netherlands. The ones who really can't be bothered to take the bike path take the (quite steep) road to the far right.

Short desire path to the disc golf course by my house

Super established desire path in centre. Tarmac path to the right.

The gap in-between them is a road

Oh desire paths my never-ending love

Walked from Osaka, all the way up the Yodo river to Kyoto station yesterday. Got more than 60k steps and covered about 40km and boy was I fuckin wiped today, but I found a ton of desire paths in all shapes and sizes! There were actually about a million more that lead from the paved paths down to the river bank, which is dotted with fishing holes pretty much all the way down the river. Met a bunch of cool people on the way, and saw the cherry blossoms at full bloom. Was an incredible walk, and the blisters on my feet will tell you the same!

Feels weird saying this in this sub, but sometimes taking the long way around is the right way to go! I coulda just taken a train to Kyoto station, but then I woulda missed out on all of these lovely little shortcuts 😁 happy walking people!

I noticed an odd line in the pollen going across my front porch. On closer inspection, this was the preferred route for some little ants to cross.
