Wanna go for a ride?

Uh, a bike ride that is.

It’s no secret to local Philadelphians that people love to ride their bikes around town, especially in Center City and it’s surrounding neighborhoods. So much so that if you drive around those areas regularly, you are constantly on the lookout for bikers when you attempt to either make a turn or parallel park your car; I know I do.

But it may come as a surprise to some of you that in 2011 Philadelphia was voted the “#1 US City for Bicycle Commuting.” Not only were we seen as number one, but we had almost double the amount of commuters; crazy, right?

Philly loves to bike, and it’s getting more popular every year.
