It took a crazy baseball game under black lights to get me back to Allentown, but I finally biked the final miles (for me) of the Delaware & Lehigh Trail.
Continue reading “I finally finished biking the D&L Trail!”I headed to Green Lane Park at the northern end of the Perkiomen Trail for a bikepacking adventure with the Bicycle Club of Philadelphia.
So you’re dreaming of a bike trip that lasts many days, weeks or even months … perhaps out west, perhaps Europe, or maybe just closer to home. And to keep costs down and flexibility high, you think camping is the way to go.
A word of advice: Test it out with a simple bike overnight.
Continue reading “I tested out bikepacking with an overnight trip. It rained. Here’s what I learned”A 28-mile bike ride to Chatpati Delhi in Central Jersey. So much food for $15 per person.
Chatpati Delhi made The New York Times’ list of the country’s 50 best restaurants in 2025. How could this not be worth a bike ride?

Mid-century architecture and modern riffs, a car-free trail, quiet roads, desert views and a touch of old Hollywood glam — Palm Springs has lots to offer someone on two wheels.

It took us more than an hour to get out of Saumur, a town of 26,000 along the Loire River in France.
Continue reading “Biking the Loire: 5 day trips from Tours”A different way to tackle Eurovelo 6.
On this bike trip to Europe, we decided to try something different: Rather than biking from point to point along a castle-laden section of Eurovelo 6 in France, we would base ourselves in one town and do day trips.
