In case you haven’t heard, bikes are back in a big way.  As COVID-19 has curtailed most social activities, adults and kids of all ages have rediscovered the joy of riding and exploring on two wheels.

For those who live in the Philadelphia region, there are miles and miles of beautiful paved trails for road bikes and beach cruisers, as well as rugged trails for mountain biking.  Grace Dickinson, writing for the Philadelphia Inquirer, offers a quick guide to trails that can take you  through historic sites, natural areas, urban landscapes and country vistas.  If you’re looking for a new home close to the Philly region’s incredible trail network, take a look at Plymouth Valley Estates, Sal Paone’s newest community.  It’s minutes from the trails at Valley Forge National Park and to connector trails that link with the Schuylkill River Trail.  Live here and you can bike for miles right from your front door.
