Exploring by bicycle

A 3-pizza bike ride: Which was best?

Eight riders. Three New Jersey pizzerias. A slice apiece.

This bike ride was inspired by Trenton Cycling Revolution’s ride for the area’s best Trenton tomato pie. I will miss the 2026 version with 9(!) stops, so I decided to organize my own mini version.

The sights you see on an all-day bike adventure!

This is kind of a revisit of a bike ride from five years ago, only reversing the start and finish.

And bringing a couple of friends along gave this route along the New Jersey side of the Delaware River a whole different perspective.

The Eastern Trail now connects from South Portland to Scarborough Marsh and beyond.

I was excited when the Eastern Trail in Maine announced that the 1.6-mile gap in its trail south of Portland was finally, finally closing.

This bicycle adventure includes a stop at the new Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music.

The Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music has opened and the temporary exhibit about the “Born to Run” album has closed. Time to update my fun bike ride around Springsteen’s Jersey Shore.

And I did it on his birthday no less.

What was that purple apple?

Does anything say “Wisconsin” more than Lambeau Field? Along with a supper club and cheese curds, of course.

Back to Sturgeon Bay (and the supper club!) along the Lake Michigan side of Door County.

It’s time to turn south. Only 2 days left of our 6-day bike adventure from Milwaukee to and around Door County.

TIL Door County loves its cherries.

This is one of the coolest elevated boardwalks you will ever see. And I mean elevated.

New Jersey has 24-hour diners. Wisconsin has supper clubs.

Ships, shipwrecks, submarines and ice cream on day 2 of this Wisconsin bicycle adventure.

Now we’re starting to see small-town Wisconsin.

This is the start of a 6-day bike ride to and then around Door County, Wisconsin.

This is the start of a 6-day bike ride to and around Door County, that long finger of land jutting into Lake Michigan in Wisconsin.
