Starting from the center of Görükle and passing through İrfaniye, this bike trail connects to Başköy and provides cyclists heading toward Gölyazı or Akçalar with a safe route that avoids the busy İzmir highway.
The B7 cycling route begins at Cumhuriyet Square in the village area of Görükle-a lively spot home to the Population Exchange Museum, Municipal Service Office, and the popular Rıza Aga Café, where descendants of population exchange families gather.
The route continues along Fevzi Çakmak Street, passing by Motormeşeler Park, and follows the paved road into İrfaniye neighborhood. After passing through İrfaniye, the road heads downhill for 3.5 kilometers and approaches the İzmir highway. As trucks transporting goods to nearby factories also use this road, it's important to stay alert and ride with caution. At the Gökçe-Büyükbalıklı junction, continue pedaling along the paved road that runs beside the factory. This road passes under the Bursa ring road shortly afterward.
About 1 kilometer later, turn left at the Başköy-Gölyazı cycling sign. The deteriorated asphalt road winds through fields and leads you to a fuel station by the İzmir highway. From here, ride 200 meters along the right side of the road and cross over the bridge junction. Then turn left toward Başköy. After another 500 meters, you’ll reach the center of Başköy neighborhood, home to the Ertan Ayçetin Bicycle House.
From here, you have several route options. You can continue on the B6 or B16 routes to reach Gölyazı and Eskikaraağaç. Or follow B14 or B15 routes via Fadıllı around Lake Uluabat all the way to Uluabat Castle. Alternatively, take the B9 Akçalar-Misi route via Kayapa, which lets you get closer to the city center without having to ride along the İzmir highway.
