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.

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?

In a word, wow!

This isn’t about one bike ride. Instead, it’s a way I’ve found to organize my To Be Ridden wish list (a riff off To Be Read, for all you bookworms).

I love bicycling in London as an occasional visitor. Just a great way to explore, and much faster than walking. And so many cycle routes!

The old Bell Labs complex in Holmdel, NJ, site of so many scientific discoveries and advancements that we take for granted today, has long been on my list of places to visit.
Lucky for me, a friend was up for a ride. Even better, she planned the route!

Almost eight years ago, I rode parts of the Virginia Capital Trail over two days.
I’ve finally come back to ride the entire trail, also over two days (out and back in sections) but this time with friends. Yes, I’ve found another 5-star trail.
