I take that trail for ~50 miles round-trip routinely. I'm looking to add the Perkiomen Trail that branches off of it to the trip one day soon. It's a very pleasant and easy ride. If you have a road bike, I'd keep to the roads in the canal is flat-land in my experience.

I agree with those that say there isn't much to see on Broad. It's also not very bike-friendly compared to many of the other N-S streets. 15th street has a "bike lane" but I think it's a terrible place for it and many of the cars seem to also. There is plenty to see by bike that doesn't involve that traffic-filled area.
