Historical Bicycle Routes

 

The Trips Awheel column was retired in the spring of 1898.  However, the Inquirer did have inserts called The Inquirer Roadster:  A Weekly Supplement for Road Travelers, Cyclists, Horsemen and Pedestrians.  The inserts include a route, illustrations, and other travel and tourism information.  This partial list will be updated as new routes are located.   In some issues the inserts were separate from the paper and published at the end, in others they were published within the paper and readers would cut out the half size sheets and fold them together.  Some of the routes appear to be repeats of earlier years, though probably updated.
