From scenic riverfronts to car-free paths to wooded gravel roads, the Philly area has some amazing bike trails, whatever your experience level might be. Host Trenae Nuri talks with West Philly cycling enthusiast Julian Bender, who created a bikepacking route from 30th Street Station to the New Jersey Pine Barrens that he calls the Jersey Devil Hunt. Plus, we learn about other accessible bike routes in and around the city.
