The B9 cycling route, covering 25.5 km of paved roads, connects Misi to Akçalar and passes through some of Nilüfer’s oldest neighborhoods: Demirci, Çalı, Yaylacık, Tahtalı, Kayapa, and Hasanağa.
The route begins at the same point as the B1 trail, which leads from Misi to Dağyenice Pond. After riding together for about 1.5 km, the route turns right and continues for around 200 meters on the asphalt road that connects Misi to Demirci. After climbing Akçaalan Hill, leave the paved road to the left and take the dirt road turning right, following the forest path downhill. This trail eventually turns into a dirt road that leads through vineyard houses and brings you to Demirci's main square after about 500 meters-home to the Demirci Cemetery and Library (formerly a historic Turkish bath).
From the old sycamore tree in the square, follow Dedeman Street, which skirts the left side of Çalı Industrial Zone and leads you to the central square of Çalı via Kahverengi Street. Continuing toward Yaylacık Neighborhood, follow 17th Street to reach Tahtalı. Follow the direction signs, pass by the historical sycamore tree in the village square, and turn right at the first street. On your right, you’ll spot a war memorial cemetery, where villagers killed by Greek soldiers during the War of Independence are buried. The engraved weapons on their tombstones are a striking detail worth seeing.
After 1 km on Çınar Street, the route connects to the Bursa highway. Turn left and continue for 300 meters on the main road with vehicle traffic, then turn left again onto a narrow paved road that leads to the Kayapa Pond dam. Passing through gardens and vineyard houses, the country road continues for another 2 km until it reaches the center of Kayapa.
From Kayapa, the route continues for 4.5 km through an industrial area, arriving at Hasanağa. From Hasanağa Square, take a left and follow Kuyu Street to reach the old Bursa - Balıkesir road. Turn right onto the dirt road to enter Hasanağa Organized Industrial Zone. Continue onto Aktopraklar Street and head left toward Akçalar. If you're in the area, consider visiting the Aktopraklık Mound Archaeopark and Open-Air Museum. The route ends in Akçalar after 3.7 km of paved road. At the fork, turn left, pass the Akçalar cemetery, and you’ll find yourself in the village square.
