Southern New Jersey is the least populous section of the most densely populated state in the nation. Bicyclists look to South Jersey for several reasons, but the two most important seem to be the flat terrain and the rural, undeveloped farmlands and forest preserves. "Ride Guide: South Jersey" offers 26 routes for cyclists who wish to explore this often overlooked region.

What better way to visit these vintage structures than on two wheels? RIDE GUIDE: Covered Bridges of Ohio provides all the information you need to visit 37 of Ohio's remaining covered bridges. There are maps and cue sheets for 11 rides throughout the state, with directions to the starting point, notes about traffic and road conditions, and plenty of information on the bridges themselves.

If you think the Midwest is nothing but flatlands covered with cornfields, then you need to hop on your bicycle and rediscover the startling diversity and beautiful scenery of the states of Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio. Thanks to this indispensable book, you can select a B&B as your base of operations and set out to explore the countryside using the maps and cue sheets for at least two rides that begin right from each inn's driveway. From the unexpected highlands around Marietta, Ohio, to the beautiful emerald necklace of Cleveland's urban parks, from the woods and lakes of Michigan to the quintessential small towns of Indiana, there is a destination for you in Bed, Breakfast & Bike. The lodging choices run the gamut, as well. You'll find restored Victorian mansions, rustic lodges, sprawling farmhouses--even a vintage sternwheeler moored in the Muskingum River! The authors have personally selected each of the 27 inns and B&Bs in these pages, and provide you with a thorough description of the accommodations and dining options. To help you remember your trip, there's a chapter full of recipes culled from the inns so that you can replicate that stunning breakfast that fueled you up the first hill.

Central New Jersey is in the middle of the most densely populated state in the U.S. But despite the proliferation of expressways, office parks, and shopping centers, there are vast parts of the region that remain undeveloped farmlands, woods, or open land -- perfect for two-wheeled touring. Despite the growth, all 21 rides from the original edition of this Ride Guide are back, each thoroughly updated to reflect changing traffic patterns and landmarks. Also included are five new routes -- four of which are especially designed for owners of hybrids or mountain bikes. These unusual routes are not all-trail mountain biking routes, but combinations of paved, gravel, and dirt roads. Rides like these can't be found in any other guidebook. From hilly Hunterdon County, along the sleepy Delaware River, down through the Millstone Valley, out from tony Princeton in four directions, and over to the Jersey Shore, Ride Guide/Central Jersey 2nd edition has everything you need ! to keep you up to speed on cycling in the heart of the Garden State.

Happy Endings

Why are we doing this? To say we have, or to prove we can? With that thought in mind, Margaret Logan, 40, decides to take her 17-year-old daughter to Paris. From there, they would ride their ten-speed bicycles to Rome, crossing the Alps en route. A daunting task, to be certain. But what is more daunting-crossing the Alps on bicycle or challenging a teenager's narrow values and materialistic ambitions? Happy Endings is the true story of a mother, a daughter, and their journey of discovery. Their 1,800-mile route takes them deep into the Old World, where the tangible history and romance of France, Switzerland, and Italy is often tempered by the retrograde behavior of some European men. Twenty years after its original release, Happy Endings remains fresh and contemporary, with timeless insights into the relationship between mothers and daughters and traveling in a foreign land. The new Anacus Press edition contains an epilogue by Margaret Logan that sheds new light on the story. Intriguingly, her daughter is now the same age that Logan was during the journey. Did her daughter ultimately opt for ocean frontage and a BMW, or did she learn that there is more to life than worldly possessions?

The Today Show, June 24, 1956. June Meyer tells David Garroway that she is looking forward to “the adventure of a lifetime” as she and her friend Teri Foster leave New York City on a pair of three-speed Schwinns. Neither has any bicycle touring experience, but they want to get to California and see as much of the country as possible along the way. Ninety days later, their adventure concludes in Los Angeles. Forty years later, June’s daughter and son-in-law stand before a nationwide audience, explaining to Bryant Gumbel that they plan to follow the same route on their modern 24-speed Schwinns, undertaking their own adventure of a lifetime. The Adventure of Two Lifetimes fuses the story of Peggy and Brian Goetz with the tale of Peggy’s mother, June, who keeps in touch during the trip, reconstructing her 1956 journey from her journal and scrapbook. The Adventure of Two Lifetimes compares and contrasts America of the 1950s with America in the late 1990s; towns that were booming during June’s trip are now shells of their former selves, stripped by big-box stores and interstates. Friendly strangers opened their doors to the weary cyclists in both eras, but June’s idealistic naivete—which results in a horrific assault and near-rape—is matched by Peggy and Brian’s careful cynicism. This is not so much a travelogue—of daily mileages and linear directions—as it is a memoir of time, of places, of a mother and a daughter. It’s a book about how one woman’s courage and quest for a place in the world forever changed her life, and how her daughter emerged from the shadow of that feat to find her own place in the world, together with her husband. And finally, it’s a book about America and Americans, in two very different generations.
