The Back Roads Bike Book: A Dozen Scenic Rides In and Around Lambertville, N.J. and New Hope, Pa. [Spiral-bound]

Catherine D Kerr (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1998

The area around New Hope and Lambertville is still generously blessed with unspoiled scenery and quiet country roads where bikes don't have to fight automobiles for a piece of the pavement. This guide to short bicycle tours on those back roads has been designed to be easy to use on the road as well as in planning your ride. There is a full description of each route, accompanied by a clear, easy-to-read map and step-by-step directions. There are also brief listings for places to stay, informal restaurants, and things to see and do along the way.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The joy of this book is that everything about it is designed with the bicycle rider in mind. The rides described were chosen to keep the bicyclist out of heavy traffic and also off of monstrous hills, as much as possible." New Hope Gazette

"Catherine Kerr, who lives in New Hope with her husband and two young children, knows ... about peaceful local places to bike, and she's compiled it all in The Back Roads Bike Book, which offers simple directions for a dozen scenic rides around New Hope and Lambertville." Philadelphia Magazine

"The routes make for delightful guided tours of the unspoiled farmland that remains in the area." -- Time Off, The Princeton Packet

From the Author

These rides cover some of the most beautiful roads near my home in New Hope, Pa. Most of them are relatively short and easy, although there's a chapter on combining routes for those who prefer longer rides. I hope everyone who uses the book has as much fun as I've had putting it all together.
