My cycling information is organized by Trails,
Tours and Rides, with each
class of jaunt presenting it's own advantages and disadvantages.
Trails - Trails are specific routes on pathways with no motorized traffic.
You can start and stop whenever, and wherever you like, but you are on your own
should you experience mechanical breakdowns or get lost. You should also carry
sufficient water for the length of the ride.
Here are the trails that I've ridden and reviewed

Tours - Tours are rides on public roadways with
controlled or banned vehicular traffic;
bicycles generally have the right of way. These tours are usually organized
with a specific start time, and route, and utilize ride marshals or police
escorts to ensure the safety of riders.
Tours and rides almost always provide rest stops, some are better than
others, but all will have at least water and are typically spaced every 8 to 10 miles.
Often rest stops are located in parks or other public areas with rest
room facilities.
Here are the Tours that I've ridden and reviewed

Bike tour of Bergen - 2009
Bike tour of Edison - 2010
Bike Trenton - City tour of Trenton, 2007
Bike Philly - 2010
Rides - Rides are self-guided tours
on public roadways with uncontrolled vehicular traffic.
Route selection is usually based on safety and
points of interest. I've included organized charity and bike club tours
in this section when they take place on open roads.
Riders typically follow a paper cue sheet with turn-by-turn directions, often
queue sheets are supplemented with painted arrows on the roadway.
