About the Author
Julie’s first love is the exquisite and enduring city of Philadelphia, where she has lived for most of her life. Her second love is the green Schwinn tandem that barely fits in her apartment, and the art of convincing friends to hop aboard and roll through the city streets. If she’s not cycling, she’s lying in the grass by the Schuylkill or cooking with friends.
Julie writes for phrugalphilly.com and GRID magazine. She recently returned to school and is working towards a Masters of Engineering in Integrated Product Design at the University of Pennsylvania.
Her favorite quotation: “When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race.” H.G. Wells

Great Philly Bike Guide,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Where to Bike Philadelphia: Best Biking in City and Suburbs (Spiral-bound)
This is a great guide to riding a bike in and around Philadelphia. The author is passionate and knowledgeable about the city and all it has to offer bikers. This shows in her great descriptions that have a lot of interesting information. This is a high quality book with nice glossy pages and great photographs. The layout of each ride is compact but very well organized with everything you need to complete the ride including detail directions, nice map, things to see, side trips and where to eat. I also like the fact that each ride can be linked with other ones to create your own routes. I have spent a lot of time riding in Philadelphia this summer and thought I knew the city pretty well but this guide has shown me a number of places I have yet to explore. If you are planning on riding a bike in Philadelphia and want some ideas where to ride you should pick up this book.

The BEST biking book that I own,
By travel bug "travel bug" (new york ny) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Where to Bike Philadelphia: Best Biking in City and Suburbs (Spiral-bound)
I'm an avid hiker and cyclist from central New Jersey and am very pleased with this gem of a book. From the design (which is uber practical) to the photography to the content, Ms. Lorch has succeeded in shining light on a region that has been largely ignored by major publications in the past. There are wonderful recommendations for all ages and levels of bikers (including places to grab a bite and fun things to do). Any outdoor aficionado from the Philly/Central NJ area will simply adore this homage to the treasure trove that lies in our backyard.

Where to Bike in Philadelphia,
This review is from: Where to Bike Philadelphia: Best Biking in City and Suburbs (Spiral-bound)
I bought this as a gift for my 32 year old son who loves to bike - but running out of places to go.This would make a great holiday gift.
