This 6% downhill sign at the end of Kelly Drive has never made sense to me. It’s rude as it is since there is a slight uphill approaching Ridge Ave.

I’m not sure if there used to be a spur going down to where the Wissahickon meets the Schuylkill? Anyone know anything about this?

The #wissahickon trail between the Wissahickon Transportation Center and the Henry Ave bridge is nearly impassable.

I counted six new downed trees and while most had a path around, I had to crouch and drag my bike under a trunk less than 3 feet off the ground.

Grateful to those who worked to cut paths and mark safe places. Furious there was no signage at either entrance to the trail noting these blockers.

Has anyone here ever biked to the Mann Center? We have tickets to see Jurassic Park with a live orchestra, and later in the year Samia and boygenius, and it looks like biking might be our best travel option. But we've never attended any events at the Mann, AFAIK.

Is the bicycle parking reasonable? I think I found the bike parking on Google Street View, and it looks like a standard crappy bike rack randomly sitting in the grass next to a surface parking lot.

Did my first #wednesdaynightride in the #wissahickon and got to catch up with some old friends and meet some new ones.

A deep and well-researched read on the sustainability of bicycles in their many forms.

Tl;dr: While far and away more sustainable than cars, when compared to each other certain practices and manufacturing methods help improve sustainability. The big winners are repairability, interoperable parts, and locality.

Go support your local bike shop and repair everything!

Fascinating frame. According to the interweb, the Haro Impulse Comp is a #mountainbike from the early 90s. This one is still at work for #bikephl.

First #indego trip in the books. Honestly the best pedal assist #bikeshare bike I've tried. Midmount #Bosch motor and 3-speed #Shimano hub are huge advantages when riding in unpredictable traffic or in #bikelanes that switch sides or disappear altogether.

Moooooooooooooon!

Well this is rad as hell and now I want one! Would make a great #bikephl bike lane solution.

Sometimes you need a three hour bike ride and a long lunch with a friend to just feel better. #bikephl #Wissahickon #bikestodon

During my latest visit to my local bike shop I was delighted to see the city is making these again!

Last time I saw one was 2017. The city does make (somewhat) frequently updated bike network data publically available if you want to make your own: https://www.opendataphilly.org/dataset/bike-network #BikeTooter #bikephl #geospatial #opendata

Had a lovely bike ride in the Wiss today! Feels very validating to have moved so close to a forested state park. Excited to be a 10-minute ride from that every day!

We had a couple hundred people on bicycles riding around South Philly Wednesday night for the annual Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia Holiday Lights Ride! #bikephl

I really think I have a nicer time rhan the mass of car-bound commuters in this city. #philly #PhillyCyclists #BikePHL #BikeCommuter

Happy to be back on the bike again for the commute this morning. Notwithstanding yesterday's incident, I'm here to tell you there is no better way to experience this great city than to ride a bike in it.
