I've been riding my bike on sidewalks and in local parks for years. That was until I biked from Columbia to Boonville and stopped in Rocheport to eat at the winery there. There's a great book store there, Pebble Publishing. They had a great variety of biking and hiking trail guidebooks, plus one for Missouri Wine Country. They lists camping spots, bed and breakfasts along the ways. You can rent a bike near the trails and near many wineries. pebblepublishing.com for guidebooks, but I'd recommend going there. Oh, and they do guided canoe floats too.
