Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Catherine D. Kerr's books are, by far, the most complete and detailed works outlining some of Bucks County's premier routes . . . the Bible of Bucks County biking." Michael J. McConaghy, Pathfinder Adventures, a Bucks County-based organizer of bike, hike and kayak trips throughout the U.S. and Canada
"Cyclers wishing to explore the scenic byways of beautiful Bucks County, Pennsylvania, will find Catherine Kerr's Back Roads Bicycling in Bucks County a valuable compendium of 15 new routes, each with maps, detailed cue sheets, descriptive commentary and even places to stop for refreshment. Building on the success of The Back Roads Bike Book, showcasing rides in the Lambertville and New Hope areas, Catherine has expanded her vistas to encompass far more of one of Pennsylvania's most scenic locales. A perfect resource for recreational and serious cyclists alike." Bob Ingersoll, Pedal Pennsylvania, a Philadelphia bicycle touring company providing cross-Pennsylvania cycling adventures
Catherine D. Kerr's "bike books are compact but laden with details and helpful information. "Each ride gets a chapter with text reflecting a detailed knowledge of the area. Kerr reports on traffic conditions at various times of the day or week, local tourist attractions, the grade of the road and the scenery.
"Kerr also rates each ride according to distance and difficulty, provides maps and detailed written directions-with variations on each route-suggests detours and tells you where to buy a cold drink or find a public restroom." -- Gwen Shrift, The Bucks County Courier Times
From the Author
I was out on my bike not far from my home in New Hope, Pa., one day when it occurred to me that I had never seen a bicycling book devoted to Bucks County. I couldn't understand why, because this area has some of the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen, but I knew right away that this was a book I had to write.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have for cyclist riding in Buck County, PA!,
By Don Varley Jr. (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Back Roads Bicycling in Bucks County, Pa. (Paperback)
Wonderfully done maps and detailed cue sheets guide you on the less traveled roads of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The "sampler" cue sheet is my favorite. This book is great if your going to spend a beautiful fall weekend in Bucks County. Most of the rides are less than 20 miles in length, which is ideal for the casual cyclist. Includes bike shop and rental information as well as places to dine.
