Bike Philly 2007

A unique biking event is taking place in Philadelphia this Fall on Sunday September 9, 2007 at 8 a.m. It is similar to New York's Five Borough Tour in that you will be able to enjoy and experience various parts of Philadelphia on your bicycle but without the worry of having to deal with traffic.

This fun, family-friendly event is not a race but rather a pleasure ride to provide cyclists with the opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of Philadelphia by bike in a safe traffic-free environment.

Organizers of the event, Bike Philly 2007, will close the roads to traffic and provide water and food every 7 miles. Participants can choose between 10 and 20 mile traffic-free rides as well as longer rides of 35 and 50 miles utilizing a mix of regular and traffic-free roads.

For additional information and to register, please visit the Bike Philly 2007 website >>

Bike Philly is also looking for volunteers.

Here are a few pics from the NY 5 Borough Event to give you a taste what these types of rides are like:
