Visiting Bucks County Covered Bridges by Motorcycle

Written by Walt in Pennsylvania Rides

Back in August of 2021, a small group of riders from the WaltInPA Discord ServerOpens in a new tab. decided to host a motorcycle ride. Our objective was to spend a few hours exploring Bucks County Covered BridgesOpens in a new tab. and sharing a few laughs and stories along the way.

In our little Discord Group, we try and share the load when it comes to planning and organizing group rides. They aren’t usually extravagant events but they have become a great way for us to discover something new in an area we wouldn’t normally ride in. In this case, WaltInPA Channel Regular Pat W. put this ride together and he did an amazing job with it.

We had the pleasure of seeing a variety of Covered Bridges in Bucks County in addition to the highly impressive Van Sant Airport (which was booming with bikes this particular day). Stops were spread out perfectly to avoid fatigue and allow us to chat a bit.

Of the Group Rides we went on last year, I think this one may be my favorite. Between all of the sights, lunch at Van Sant Airport, and the comradery, it was an awesome day riding with friends.

If you would like to care to ride our route yourself, I’ve included our Bucks County Covered Bridge Group Ride Packet Below. Credit goes to Pat W. for putting on such an enjoyable ride!

If you enjoyed the Bucks County bridges, Lancaster County takes it to another level. Twenty-eight covered bridges spread across the southern end of the county, most of them still standing after 150 years. I went back with a couple of friends and hit ten of them in one day, plus a bonus stop at Poole Forge on the way home. You can read the full rundown over at Riding Lancaster County Covered Bridges.

My name is Walt White and I've been riding motorcycles on and off since my early twenties. After more than a decade away from the sport, I came back - and I've been making up for lost time ever since. Based in Southeast Pennsylvania, I write and create videos about real motorcycle ownership: the bikes I ride, the gear I test, the roads I explore, and the community I've found along the way. I ride a 2022 Yamaha MT-09 SP and a 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 400, and I try to give you the honest take you'd get from a friend rather than a press release. I'm also a husband, dad to three girls, and a pitbull owner - which keeps life interesting off the bike too.

  1. Thanks. A very nice 38 minutes well spent. Pretty country side. I’d always imagined Bucks County to be encroached by urban sprawl.

    I’ve always enjoyed when crossing the Mississippi how green everything is in the summertime.

    Thanks again.

    1. Hi Sam,
      Parts of Bucks County can certainly be congested by traffic flowing in and out of the Philadelphia area. Pat, who put this ride together, did a fantastic job of staying away from the busy areas and sticking to the smaller winding country roads.
