I between Cincinnati and Dayton in the state of Ohio, USA. We have a great mix of multi-use trails and communities that have designated bike lanes. There is a system of paved multi-use trails that extend from Cincinnati to Urbana, about 120 miles. There is an offshoot from this trail that currently runs out to South Charleston, Ohio which adds about 12 miles one way. There is also a connector from these trails to the trails in Montgomery County, Ohio. The Montgomery County Trails consist of approximately 45 miles of connected trails and another 30 miles of stand alone trails. A lot of the municipalities in the area have built some sort of bike trail, anywhere from one mile on up. The majority of the trails are rail trails without any steep hills. There are several trails that follow river banks and you get small hills as the trails run along the banks for awhile and then go up on the levees for awhile.
It is kind of dangerous to ride the road in the metro area, but there are nice country roads less than a half hours car ride away. You can drive up to the central Ohio Pleateau and ride flat roads, or you can drive anywhere that is connected to the Ohio River Valley and you have all the climbing you might want.

...at least for a while.
